On This Day in (the) History of David

This isn't going to be a long one, just a little 11-month update!

Time to hit the gym!

I think now is as good a time as ever to note that David is "total BOY." As evidence, enclosed are some photos of him playing with Andrei's new exercise equipment (I don't even know the term...a pull-up bar? chin-up?). There are special hooks for it installed in the wall and whenever we walk by, he gets all excited and tries to grab it. There are lots of crashes and throwing things daily, and daredevil-type acts.

David is suddenly learning a lot of independent new skills, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt and say that all this development is the reason he has been difficult more active lately. Also, did you know that "teething" is a perpetual state? I didn't. I think this child will be teething until he enters university.

Some of the fun things he's been doing lately are:

-getting ready to stand without support (maybe even take some steps)
-stacking cups/containers, putting the rings on the pyramid base or whatever it's called
-not only taking toys OUT, but putting them BACK sometimes...
-laughing at TV shows. Yup, I caved and let him watch the Muppets, hopefully he's not ruined for life!
-lots of other things related to communication/responding, self-feeding, etc.

More photos...click to enlarge!


Hamster wheel, anyone?
