A Quick Overview

Sorry that it has been so long since I have posted. No doubt David has changed tremendously since December. Very quickly, let me give you an overview of how David developed over the last many months...






Christmas was spent with Nona and Papa Norman in Birmingham. We had a lot of fun visiting everyone. Right before we left for Birmingham, David sat up by himself unsupported (about 6 mon. in age).








January was the first time we introduced "solids" to David. Of course it was mostly just thick milk. He seemed to enjoy it.

By about 7 months old David just started to creep a little bit. It didn't seem to take him long to become a pro at the army dude scoot. (This became his only way to get around. He was so fast at the scoot that he still hasn't gotten into an official crawl. He can do it now if he wants, but never very long.)




We have learned a lot about this little man along the way. One thing we picked up on pretty quickly is that David has a flair for the theatrical. This face is not a real cry. He has a collection of these "fake" cries now. Unfortunately, I don't think laughter is the response he is looking for...or is it??
However, I must say too, we have also learned that he is a very sensitive guy. He loves to please and has a gentle heart.


Once March rolled around and David was 9 months old, he was no longer content with floor mobility only. He started pulling up. Not only that...but Climbing!! This is when it became necessary to watch him at all times. A time or two I would leave for a minute and he'd be eating something or sucking on a power cord. The world just opened up for him and he wanted to explore it!
