Ok folks, I am 11 and a 1/2 months young now and have a few more updates for you...first, pulling myself up to a standing position, EASY! Second, using the couch, ottoman or anything else sturdy to maneuver around the house, or what I like to call, one step away from walking on my own, EASY! Third, I know where my belly and nose are, I can point to a banana and say "ba...nana", I say, "hi Mama", "bah-bah" which stands for goodbye and bottle, "Boh" for book, "Dah" for dog...and the list goes on! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me and always have a cow every time I do another one of my tricks, they're crazy, crazy about me! :)
Other than that, Mommy has been VERY busy with work and Daddy too, both happy and doing a great job of loving me. Oh yea, and I am now holding my own bottle with no help from either of them and I've already had TWO haircuts, you like? I'd say, all in all, my independence is coming along nicely...
Well, I've got to run, I'm headed to Nana and Poppi's for the day. Hope to see you all soon!
Lots of love,
The Destroyer
