behind

Well I have seemed to get a little behind so I will do my best to recap the last several weeks. At 8 weeks Dane managed to have his 4 top front teeth come in all at once. We thought it was his incisor teeth coming in but it wasn't. He started trying to crawl but can't seem to quite figure it out yet. He was way more interested in learning to walk than crawl. He also started eating a few more things like shredded cheese, taco meat, puffs, and cheerios. He also started sitting himself up so we had to lower the crib. It was really sad for me because he looks like he is in prison being that close to the ground. I didn't take many shots of him with his bear this month like I had planned so they didn't come out to well. He managed to get his shirt all wet but cute is cute no matter what!

Lately

We have had a pretty active summer so far. We are taking full advantage of just about any pool we can get into. Dane loves the water just about as much as I do. He has a new floaty that allows him to kick all over the pool on his own. He does not want me holding him at all, not in the pool or any time for that matter.

Last weekend my friend Desiree came up from Oklahoma and Dane really enjoyed her kids. He loves to see new faces and have more people to interact with. While she was here she bought him the toy Rex from Toy Story and he absolutely loves it. I have about 5 videos of him cracking up. I could have 15 and they still wouldn't get old.

Dane is starting to eat more things. I made him some zucchini and squash which he loved! I also made him some peas which he did not love. His new favorite thing is to chew on pretzel rods. He is teething like crazy. He now has two bottom teeth and just this week we noticed he is getting his incisor tooth on the top left side. I have heard that he should not get that one in until much later but ready or not it is coming.

We don't appear to be getting very far on crawling because Dane is way more interested in walking. We have been practicing both so hopefully in the next few weeks he will master one of them.
