Catching Up

Our little Superman seems to learn more & more each day. Some new things he is doing:

• He is walking pretty good as long as he is holding on to something. He has learned to turn around with the push toy (he used to just bang it against the wall until you turned him around). He can stand on his own, but always falls once he realizes he is standing alone, because he tries to reach for you.
• He is saying "ma-ma" & "da-da". Sometimes he looks at us & says it and other times he will just say it to whoever will listen. He will say "ba-ba" when you are fixing him a bottle. He is also say "uh-oh", but he doesn't know what it means. He just copies you whenever you say it.
• He shakes his head no. Again, he doesn't know what it means, he just randomly does it & then laughs. Speaking of laughing, he makes himself laugh. Especially when riding in the car. He will be blabbering and then will start laughing. I guess he is telling himself jokes?! It's the cutest thing!

He got his first pair of real kicks! They are actually his birthday present. We initially went to the New Balance store just so I could find out his actual shoe size (he is a 5 1/2 double wide). I was then going to see if I couldn't find them cheaper online. Once he tried on the shoes in the store though, he just looked so darn cute! Not only did we buy them from the store, but we bought them on the spot. I'm such a sucker!

Not his best walking video, but it cracks me up because I get some close-ups. I was trying to get video of him walking down the hall, but he kept turning around to look at me. He gets very distracted by cameras. (He is also wearing his new big boy pj's) The video closes with one of his signature falls. (He averages about 1 boo-boo report a week from school. Thankfully, it is never anything major, just getting excited & loosing his balance!)

His new trick of the week: Touchdown! Again, he was doing it much better, but as soon as we started filming he got side tracked. Then he just wanted to clap. You can kind of see his touchdown arms. He also said "ta-ta" but the video doesn't pick it up (over my loud mouth!).
