Tower of Babble

After months of cooing, shrieking, and gurgling, I am moving on to a new set of sounds. I had been putting my lips together and saying "mmmmmm" for quite some time. Then this past Sunday I turned it into "ma ma ma". Since then I've been working on sound after sound. Yesterday, I tried out "ba ba ba" and today I premiered "na na na", "da da da", and "bla bla bla"! How did I not realize sooner all the amazing sounds I could make with my mouth?!

While we're on the subject of new things I'm learning, I'm sure you are all wondering how I'm doing with getting around these days. Well, if I'm sitting down, and I want to get somewhere, I kind of just scoot myself forward with my bottom. I haven't quite figured out this crawling thing yet. I can get onto my knees, but I can't figure out how to go anywhere in that position. Sometimes I just get on my knees and rock back and forth. Mommy says I will be crawling in no time. That is if I don't start walking first. I try to pull up on everything. I still need help to get to that standing position, but that doesn't stop me from trying. Whatever is closest to me I grab onto and pull. Today the closest thing was my girlfriend Carli's head. I'm not sure she appreciated that.

And one more thing before I sign off. Remember that tooth I got last month? We finally got a good picture of it so I thought I'd share. No sign of any other teeth yet.
