Dan is now up to 23.8 pounds and is 29 inches long. At just shy of 25 pounds, I certainly don't need to get to the gym! He's still crawling around like crazy, pulling himself up onto anything he can get his hands on, and babbling away. Mostly he goes on and on with "da, da, da, da, da, da..." It seems only when he's upset and wants me to pick him up does "ma, ma, ma" come out. Silly boy!
He still enjoys eating pureed foods, and is not quite sure what to make of finger foods yet. So at this point he is still nursing about 90% of the time. He'll get solids at lunch time and maybe supper time depending if he seems extra hungry. Sippy cups are just fun toys to him. However, put a regular glass in front of him and he knows what to do! On Mother's Day, Jason was teasing him at the restaurant with his beer glass. I ended up dipping my pinky into the beer and had him taste it. Well, he's a true 'Sconie - he used his hands and tried to get my entire hand into his mouth! It was rather comical.
He also figured out how to climb up and down small landings. I have a feeling he will be climbing up the stairs pretty soon. No signs yet of him walking on his own, but he is cruising along furniture rather well. My Mom said that I was walking by 10 months or so. We'll see if he is cruising on his own by then as well.
He does have two teeth that are trying to poke out. They are his bottom central incisors. Last Thursday I left work early as I had received a text from our sitter letting me know that Dan had a fever. Luckily the fever broke over night, but he's been cranky off and on since. I'm going to miss his gummy smile, but those toothy grins are equally adorable! We'll see if he has any teeth by next month!
