10 months

I can't keep up with this kid anymore...that and I can't keep up with this blog.  Between laziness and chasing Aspen around constantly, I've lost track of the last two months.  In the last month, he is really turning it on.  He has started repeating his favorite book "Peeka Who".  He'll grab the book and start making "mmmmmmmmmmmm" sounds.  Or, when I say the book outloud, he'll repeat after me.  It's way too adorable.  Not only that, but he's turned on the "brave" status.  On October 30th, he took his first unassisted steps and isn't looking back.  He's itching to walk on his own, and has the motion down, but when walking to you he isn't figured out to put one foot in front of the other.  Instead, it's a fall flat on your face type walk.  But, if you just give him your fingertips or place them under his arms, he can walk with the best of them.  He has also fallen in love with his "walker", as I refer to it.  And could do laps if we had enough space.  I'm guessing by next month he will be on his way.

And last but not least, we can wave and clap on command.  That almost sounds like a dog trick, but no, it's not:-)
