petroniaAlan started walking by himself this week! It's very incremental - first he would only take one step before handholds, then three, and now four or five. But he will only do it when launching himself at someone's lap, not to get around the house. For that he finds a mobile piece of furniture, like the laundry basket or a footstool. But he's finally realized that it's easier to carry objects in his hands when upright. And he gets plenty of praise when he walks, so he's very pleased with himself, particularly when he reviews videos we took of him, like an athlete in training.
It may be because he's standing straighter, but he measures half an inch taller against the window frame, versus two weeks ago. His head circumference is also bigger, which I know because he can no longer wear my yellow mixing bowl as a hard hat. ^^;
Favorite game: hide and seek with the grownups behind the sofa. He has such an adorable laugh!
Rainy Sunday morning, got out rain boots handed down by O and took Alan for a walk in the alley, and eventually around the block - quite an adventure. Plenty of dogs and cars and squirrels and pigeons, sprouting weeds and rocks in muddy puddles. Alan doesn't seem to want to crawl around and eat dirt, thank goodness, but he does want to touch the tires of parked cars.
Sleep is good about half the time. Unfortunately, he doesn't go back to sleep as easily when he wakes up anymore, and when he started howling at 1:30am last night, I brought him into my bed... but he wouldn't sleep and was wide awake for 90 minutes. We finally got up at 8:15am and made it up that way.
