during the past week, my new thing has moved past crawling (which i do really well, and at times really fast) to pulling myself up. i pull myself up on everything i can. i think i can say that i have mastered that skill. i can even use a flat surface like a wall, to use for balance only as my legs are strong enough to push me upright all by themselves.
yesterday i actually let go while standing and stood without any support for a couple seconds. i was very proud of myself. i need to work on that more often.
when mommy holds my hands when i stand, sometimes i even take steps. daddy is sticking with his predication that i will be walking by thanksgiving. i don't know what that is, or when that is, but i'll start when i start.
i have 2 teeth now. one is taller than the other. i tell you ever since the second tooth appeared earlier this week i have been in a much better mood. tuesday and wednesday this week were great days. i was in a super-duper mood which made mommy's job easier and more fun.
since i started crawling the "peek-a-boo" game has taken on a whole new meaning. mommy or daddy will hide behind a corner, and i crawl over to "get them". when i find them i laugh and squeal. mommy and daddy find it pretty funny. in fact i have a picture that mommy took of me finding her around a corner. it shows my face the moment i peek around the corner and it is funny. i will get it posted soon (hopefully this weekend).
adding to the fun of this new version of peek-a-boo is the fact that i have developed "object permanence". mommy says that means i know that when i don't see things or people, that they are still there. that's how i know i can crawl around the corner to get mommy or daddy. this also leads to some unhappy moments as well. since i spend so much more time with mommy i am more comfortable with her, and sometimes when she goes out of my sight i start to cry. i know she is still around somewhere, but i can't see her and that makes me sad.
i think it is safe to say that i associate the "moma" sound with my mommy. i use that sound exclusively when i want her, or when i am upset and can't see her.
