I am sitting up all by myself, which is really not too much of a feat. But what is special is that I am only rarely falling over and hitting my head. I used to be pulled over by the slightest movement of my gigantic nogin. But now, I am doing a very admirable job of controling it. Yea!
I am crawling, but only backwards, and only once in a great while. So, in other words, not often. But you have to start somewhere, right?
I have a super strong grip and enormous mitts. So I am getting really good at taking things away from Emmett and holding on tight.
I love sweet things. I can’t enough of chocolate (not that Mom and Dad have that very often) and when I have normal stuff like oatmeal, I prefer it sweetened with agave nectar or molasses or something. Emmett prefers the salty stuff. But give me anything sweet and I will act as if I haven’t eaten in months.
I wave at everyone. I wave hello and goodbye. And for no reason at all. I do the double wave (two hands). And something i watch my own hand as I wave. Its very interesting how I can control that.
I am a very determined little guy. If I want a toy, or some food, or to be held, I really don’t let go of that idea until I get what I want. Don’t get me wrong. I’m also very content with almost everything that I am doing. But when I get an idea in my head, I like to see it through to the end. Not a bad quality to have, right?
Anyway, I’ll let you know how my first Halloween goes. I’m going to be a monkey. Which is fairly apt as I like to hold onto things with my hands and drag things to me with my feet!
Talk soon,
Riley
