Skills

Baby Motor Skills Update: cruising, picking up little objects with his thumb and index fingers (and putting them in his mouth), pinching air...

Baby Mental Skills Update: object permanence (he knows the locations of the baby gates, the kitchen, our scale, the fireplace, and the TV), testing his mother and father (baby crawls over to the TV, looks at us with a smirk, slowly raises his little hand toward the TV, we run over to stop him)

Baby Speech Update: "baba dada mama" *smile* "daaadaaa maaaamaaa" ... he talks non-stop, especially in the morning
