Walk this Way

Last weekend (Sat Sept 29) David walked on his own! Franklin was overnight at daycare so David had the living room all to himself. And not only did he walk (5-6 steps at a time!), but he stood right up unassisted in the middle of the floor too! Since he's been practicing for over a month now, we guess he is feeling pretty confident; he is quite speedy! 

The weekend before last, David got his 2nd haircut, and spent some time hanging out at mom-mom and pop-pop's house. He had missed his nap the day of the haircut, so was pretty zonked when we went in for his appt. This time, David just sat on my lap and watched daddy make funny faces while he calmly let Mr. Brian chop away. Good thing he doesn't seem to mind getting his hair cut... he's going to be needing one every 2 months or so it seems! 

Swimming lessons started back up, and we're loving that. Mostly he likes reaching for, then putting the rubber duckies in his mouth, and floating on his back with his head on Josh's shoulder. And of course staring at all of the other kids - particularly the older kids on the other end of the pool. He just looks at them in awe :) 

He's really into hugs (full-on, hands around the neck, head on shoulder). And he's sleeping great. He goes down awake and rolls around for a little while, looking up at the stars for a few mins before drifting off. He also loves pulling out books to read. He flips through his 2 big board books by himself pointing at each animal or item on every page. He's loving watermelon still, animal crackers are a new favorite, and yogurt melts are by far his favorite dessert. 

David also has a new daycare wife - her name is Gianna (gi-gi for short :)). His other buddy is Levi. The 3 of them turn 1 within a week of each other, so they're besties :) 

He's eating pretty much everything we put in front of him, as long as it's tasty! (has his mommy's tastebuds :)). He loves the grass and leaves, and still loves the outdoors. He even cries when he doesn't get to go on the buggy rides at daycare!

Here are some pics :)
