Mums the word

or so I was hoping...

David started doing some serious "babbling today".

I spent the whole day encouraging him while he went on "ba, ba, ba, ba".

"YEAH!! Good boy!! Now try, "ma, ma, ma, ma."

He looks right at me and says, "Ah, da, da"

NOOOOOO!!!!!

I take a deep breath and think that it doesn't count unless he says it again.

He didn't. Not all day. Mind you he didn't say mama either.

Curt got home from work and I repeated what happened. He was so excited that David said dada. I quickly reminded him that David doesn't exactly know what he is saying and that it is just random babbling and it doesn't count unless he says it again.

I then proceed to head out of the room. Shortly after I hear a "HE SAID IT!!! DADA!!!".

Come on. Really? Nope. I won't believe it until I hear it again with my own ears...come on buddy...who's the one that feeds you...

Sitting Pretty...

I mean handsome!!
We started to wonder if David would ever sit!! Then last Monday (March 15th), while we were visiting a friend's cottage, he decided he need to see the world from a different perspective and that was it! Now our little monkey is sitting!!
LOVE IT!

PS. Notice the drool?

Can it Be? Already?

Wow. What a few weeks we have had with David.
He hasn't been sleeping well. And by not sleeping well, I mean he'll sleep until midnight and then he is up every 2 hours. EXHAUSTING!!!
Then, this week he was hit with a little cold. Cranky with a running nose. Poor little thing!
This evening, we couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Nothing soothed him or made him happy. Finally I decided to try and give him my knuckle to chomp/suck on. All of a sudden he bit down and I got my first feel of the source of his fussiness.
HE GOT HIS FIRST TOOTH!!
It is on the bottom right hand side.
How cute will he look with his little tooth!?!?
Now I almost feel guilty for complaining...

Batty Beginnings

Some thought David was still a bit little this year for all the hubbub of Halloween haunting.
But, one of my favorite things is to dress my kiddies up any chance I get and send them out for a little loot for the family. Hey, we all have to do our part. No one could resist giving what they could to this little cutie.
You will notice the many costume changes the poor boy had to endure. Ahhh... I still have so many years of "picture torture" to go!!

P.S. Yes. He did sleep through the whole ordeal.
