Sarah and Adam: The Next Generation

Gus learns to crawl

Gus learned to crawl today (January 21), for the first time! We watched him crawl several feet, real crawling, on his hands and feet! Woohoo!!

(An update - Gus figured out pretty much right away how to get himself back to sitting from crawling, which was really great. And then yesterday - 1/27 - he pulled himself up to standing for the first time, in about 3 seconds flat, on the edge of the bathtub, as he saw the water going in.)

New Tricks for Gus

* He scoots (while sitting on his butt)! Gus current has a tissue fetish. Today he scooted across the floor to a trash bin, reached inside, fished around, pulled out a used tissue and started eating it in the 2 minutes Sarah was out of sight.
* He talks! He says “All Doe” for “All Done”. He also said “Bye-bye” the other day.
* He does a high-five! You say ‘High-five” and hold up your hand, and he puts his hand up and does it with you.
* He plays little games. He throws a ball back and forth, and pokes his finger through a little hole (it sounds silly, but he reaches through the hole so you can grab his fingers and then he laughs!).

Jasper, on the other hand, is experimenting with "no", and recently said, "that's my favorite one!" I replied, your favorite what? He said, "My favorite water!!"

Happy New Year

At last, Gus has teeth!  His first tooth (bottom right front tooth) arrived on January 1, at the old age of 8.5 months. His second tooth followed soon after, arriving today, January 3rd.  Hooray for teeth!
