Caleb updates

caleb had his first stage 3 dinner tonight (he has it all over his mouth in the video). he did pretty good and only gagged a few times. he started eating cheerios about a week ago and has become a cheerio champion. he LOVES feeding himself cheerios. it's the only food he seems to really enjoy. he usually makes a yucky face whenever he gets a spoonful of anything else.

he's still doing the army crawl but now he is starting to stay on his hands and knees for a few seconds before getting on his belly. he's pulling himself up a lot more often now and can inch his way along the furniture while standing. his favorite thing to do is to have one of us hold his hands and walk him around the house. he loves it. i try not to do it too often because i don't want to rush him into walking. speaking of walking, sometimes i put him in his walker while i'm cooking dinner and he has become so good at getting around corners. and he goes so fast that he is almost running in that thing. luckily, our house doesn't have much room for him to get around so he can't get too far.

hmmm... what else..... i'm trying to teach him to wave hello and goodbye. he's waved a few times on his own but i don't think he really gets it yet. i can't believe he is almost 9 months old and that he's going to be celebrating his first Thanksgiving in a few days! it's crazy how fast time flies.
