I can stand!

I can stand, yeah, yeah yeah... for about 20 seconds, as long as I am very distracted or interested in something. I am very clever :D

I am 9 months today and I can...

Say... "mumumumumumumum" and "dad" "dada". I am contsantly surprised when using these words get me attention or even better, what I want. A little 3 year old girl I meet playing in the park told my mum that I said "hi" to her, and she was quite definite, so we can add that to the list too.

Eat... dirt. And rocks. And those funny twirly seed pods that fly of oak trees. And sand. Sometimes I like mum's organic vegie surprises, but I really love yoghurt. I like to try everything that mum eats, but gerkins/pickles puzzle me.

Crawl... very very fast. People always say "gee, he moves fast" as I try to escape the baby play area to get to the bigger boys and their noisey monster truck games. I can crawl up about 20 stairs to the apartment and I can crawl in the wading pool at the park - with my bum in the air, so I dont scrape my knees on the concrete. If I crawl too deep in the water I get a face full of water, which surprises me every time.

Walk... holding onto one hand of someone close for about 20 steps. Or if no one is about I walk my box or my giant block truck.

Stand... almost. I can pull myslef to standing on anything, including other babies, but they are a bit squishy and tend to cry a bit...
