Oh the things I can do

So since rolling, Milo has added many new milestones to his list of accomplishments. He has really started to babble, lots of ba, ba, ba, some screams, the occasionally “ppppppppp” noises of raspberries, and he is working on da da da and ma ma ma. When asked how big he is he will put his arms above his head for “So big”. He no longer does this on demand and often leaves Mom looking silly when trying to show off her baby’s new “trick”. I believe it is his way of reminding me that he is indeed a little boy comprised of a personality all of his own, who decides when and what he wants to do and not a dog in training. Sometime he will spontaneously throw his arms in the air in order to hear mom shout from wherever she is “SO BIG”. Clapping is coming along. He is finally coordinated enough to get his hands together. It was pretty cute when he would wave his arms around in hopes that they might hit each other, but watching this little human actually clap is just as cute. One of the biggest accomplishments and perhaps the scariestt for mom is that Milo is so close to crawling. He gets on all fours from a sitting position and rocks back and forth. Every once in a while when the stars align just right he actually gets a couple movements in. Bosco’s dog bowl has been the biggest incentive to get this little guy going. He has been expressing some frustration with not being able to get where he wants so I think he will be a happy boy once he figures out this crawling thing. I am a bit intimidated by the thought of a moving baby. It is nice being able to put the little pumpkin down and know that he will be in the same place that I left him, relatively. I am not sure how I will get through our morning and evening routines with a baby on the move, but I am sure we will figure it out. After all he has to move at some point. Another one of Milo’s triumphs thus far is that he has successfully pulled himself up from a sitting position to a standing one. Milo's most recent discovery is waving. He will now wave good bye. As if it wasn't already hard enough leaving him. This little guy is growing up so fast and he changes daily.
