Sitting Like a Pro

Hmmmm. Let’s see what’s happening with you here lately, wee man!

You sit like a pro, as the title claims. No more tripoding here – well, not so much anyway. You can sit up and you look SOOOOO cute doing it. You have kind of long arms, like your Grandpa Chip, so you look a little bit like a monkey sitting there with appendages draped all over the place. But it is adorable. You have also started making all kinds of syllables. Consonants have made their appearance in your repertoire. Da da da, ya ya ya, and various other things that I probably couldn’t accurately represent in type. Your top teeth are coming in – four at once! – and the front two have this HUGE gap in between them. I have taken to calling you Madonna. We sing Like a Prayer together regularly.

You lean in to people when they talk to you, and talk back. Of course, there is the screaming, which is not our favorite thing, but you do it with gusto and that makes me smile. Just last weekend we took you on a 12 hour car ride to attend cousin Brooke’s wedding, and you were so good. And once we got home, boy, you were excited to be out of that car!
