Milestones

BJ has been busy meeting lots of milestones recently. We are quickly learning that we need to babyproof even more as BJ has started crawling!! I thought we had things pretty good until I found him on the 2nd step the other day- time for a gate!! He started July 4th weekend and has been speeding up ever since. The same weekend he pulled himself up to stand and has found he loves to stand and play. He just is still working on being able to get down! He is working on his 6th tooth, and just the other day figured out how to pick up a puff (cheerio like thing for those without little kids) and put it in his mouth. He gets about 50% in, the rest in his lap, on the floor etc, but he loves it!! He is still a very social guy- real laid back and loves to talk! At daycare we are told he doesn't let the older kids take his toys- he has a strong grip. AND he has a little girl who is enamored with watching him. He even accidentally sat on her leg and she just giggled. (He is the older man). Brandon and I spend so much time just playing with him- he loves the simplest toys (which is good since we haven't bought a lot!). Some of his favorites include the soccer ball ($4 at Target), wooden spoons, water bottles, baseball, and the wok lid). Plus he loves facebooking! He always wants to type when I'm on! Also he enjoyed swimming with his second cousins (I think that is the right relation) in Steamboat 4th of July weekend. He lounged in the pool while they took him around in float. It was a busy weekend- but lots of fun- he even slept through his first parade!! Needless to say, Brandon and I feel very blessed by God with our sweet little BJ!

Another new favorite- getting all the tupperware out!


Like I said 50% in the mouth!
