Touchdown!

This boy gets excited! Andy was holding his arms up and talking at him, and Brent was trying to copy. It was so adorable! He was acting so crazy!

It was a great weekend, though! He was so good, and took good naps...and ate lots of wonderful new foods. So far his favorites are chicken, turkey and fish. He's a meat man so far. I put a variety for him to choose from, and he always goes for the meat first, then macaroni or potatoes. If there's room (and there's usually not) then he might try a bean or pea or carrot. So for now I give him some jar vegetables afterwards and he'll eat some that way. He doesn't dislike the veggies, but he just loves everything else a little more.

And Sunday night he started standing up by himself. He can do it from a sitting position, and not just by climbing up something and letting go. He's such a strong little guy! He's been working very hard on his balance lately, and it's paying off now. What he'll do is get up on his knees, then get from there to one knee and one foot. Then he balances on his hands and just stands up. I don't think he chose the easiest way to do it, but it seems to work. I think in a few weeks he'll be taking a step or two. Then it'll be time to childproof a little higher in the house.
