We had to cheat a bit this month. Our pictures are actually from last night because Mom and John had to leave the house before I was up this morning.
John is officially a wild man. The house is in complete lock-down and he's still able to find things to climb. And he's at the stage where Mom or Dad will ask him to stop doing some sort of dangerous behavior, he'll stare at them, and then continue!
His walking is getting much better, as well. He likes to use a piece of furniture to get up and then occasionally take 5 or 7 steps to get over to another piece of furniture. He also loves walking while pushing his official pushcart or a small chair or a box or really anything at his height that is light enough to push.
His appetite continues, too. He consistently eats more than I do and often eats more than Mom. He loves nearly everything so it's easier to list what he didn't like this month: Blackberries. He's enjoyed blackberry yogurt before, so we think it's something about the consistency of the actual berries that he doesn't enjoy. He does have one notable favorite this month: The clementines that I also love. But he doesn't have molars to actually grind the segments so he'll chew each segment then spit it out and continue with the next segment!
As for me, I'm getting a bit more active, as well. My physical therapist commented on it yesterday at our monthly appointment. I'm getting much better at climbing and descending stairs without holding onto anything. And when running, my stride is more straight-forward with my knees raising to a more natural level. My homework for this month: Continue marching around the house working on lifting high knees!
