1 year, 7 months

Monthly pictures are here! Neither Keillor or are are very good at sitting still lately, so Dad told Keillor to stay on the patio sofa and then locked me in between him and the arm of the sofa.

 Good boy, Keillor.

 Kiss!

 Pouting after I realized it would be hard to escape.

 Getting a little bored, Dad.

 Say cheese!

Lots of excitement this past month. Of course the biggest deal is the fact that I'm crawling all over the place. Movement-wise, I'm back to where I was before going in my cast and working hard to get myself caught up to other kids my age. I really enjoy standing while holding onto something, but still need a hand from an adult to get myself all the way up. This week I've started to make advancements in crawling up steps, as well.

We made two trips to the zoo this past month and it has becoming a favorite destination. I'm old enough to understand what I'm looking at and as you may have seen in past posts, I'll do my best to imitate any animal you want.

'Nose' is definitely my favorite word the past couple weeks. In fact, there's a good chance that I'll point right at yours and say "nose" without being prompted. Other fun words include: Balloon, bubble, noodle, and please. And Mom and Dad started cracking up last night with my attempt at saying "garbanzo bean."

Favorite foods this month: Apples - I love to hear the crunch when chewing; hot dogs - a special treat, and potato salad. In fact, I couldn't shovel the potato salad in my mouth fast enough when Dad made it last weekend.
