small small catch monkey

It is so amazing to watch as Sawyer changes and develops. His small accomplishments add up quickly.... small small catch monkey...

He has been babbling constantly and making new sounds all the time. And though he doesn't seem to know what it means yet, he is saying "Da Da" an awful lot.

He is sitting on his own for a minute or two at a time- propped up like a tripod with both arms extended. He can manipulate toys with one hand and stay upright for a while.

He used a high chair for the first time on our visit to New Hampshire.

He is rolling over in both directions now, though still gets stuck on his belly sometimes.

He has found a preferred sleeping position: on his left side.

When playing with small toys, he will pass them from one hand to the other and will drop one so he can pick up another toy. He recently started banging his wood blocks against the counter.

He loves to play with his stacking cups and colored rings but still loves his little stuffed creatures: monkey, giraffe, and kiwi.

He has yet to meet a food he doesn't like. He has added oatmeal and peas to his diet and is eating almost a cup of grains + vegetables twice a day. Fruit is on the horizon.

He continues to love to practice standing and can fully weight one foot at a time.

He loves being outside and loves plants, trees, and flowers. Nothing else holds his attention in the same way.

When he is being held by one person, he will stretch out his arms so he can be passed to another person.

He is beginning to really pay attention to the sign language we have been using with him: up, eat, more, nurse, all done.

He is an excellent traveler. He likes his stroller and his carrier- pretty much anything that lets him see new stuff and jostles him a little along the way.
