Past Due Update

So, I realize that it's been quite a while since I've posted anything about Justice. Everything is going by way too quickly. I watch him all the time and he does something new every day. The biggest deal is that he started walked around 9 1/2 - 10 months. He looks like a drunk when he's walked around but he's getting better and better at it all the time. This past weekend I watched him stand up on his own - no help from an object or person, just went from crawling around on his feet and hands to standing.

He's got so much personality now. His laugh is contagious and it's constant. He's usually talking - it's nonsense but he's talking. He says "Da Da" and has been for a while but lately I think he actually knows who "Da Da" is and says it at the appropriate time - sometimes.

He knows how to tell me he's full. He loves phones and holds it up to his ear even though no one is talking back to him. He's mimicking sound. I can say, "Helllllooooo Justice" and he'll reply "aaaaaaoooo" which to me sounds like Hello even if no one else can hear it.

He initiates games of Peek a Boo now. He loves being around kids who are the same age as he is. He might not know how to play with people yet but he knows how to imitate them.

They are starting to transition him into the toddler room. He spent 2 hours in there yesterday and when they went to put him back into the infant room he pulled away. The day before they had just put him in there when Marty arrived and he didn't want to leave.

My boy's getting so big so fast. This weekend is his first Easter. I can't wait to watch him bang the little plastic eggs together because, let's face it, Easter Egg "hunt" is totally lost on him.

Marty said to me today, "He's so much more fun now than he was when he was 2 months old." I have to agree.

Here are a few pictures just to let you see how big he is. This parenting thing is so much fun!
