Video Dump!

Here's a bunch of videos that we've been uploading over the past month or so!

Here's the tickle monster!

I found a little piece of elastic on the back of his undies and kept giving him a little snap.  He can tell somethings going, but he can't figure it out :)

Each night, Beth and I sing to Lawson once we lay him down.  This night, he decided to sing himself to sleep.

Lawson figured out how to play the xylophone with his big spoon!

This is a day or two after he figured out how to crawl.  It was hard to get his first crawl on video but this is mighty close.

Lawson's GG got a floaty that buckles around him.  He went into the pool with me and he floated by himself.  His ears were under water and he was super calm and started to kick to propel himself.  Really beautiful.

Whoops, it's been a while. 9 Months

So, Lawson is 9-1/2 months.

Teeth:  Check.  He's got Seven Eight.  He cut another one in the week it's taken me to finish this.

Crawling:  Check.  He army crawls all over the house.

Pulling him self up:  Semi-Check.  He just started pulling himself up onto furniture, but only successfully on one footstool at Grandma Bets' house.

Standing:  No Check.  The kid loves to hold him self up against furniture and be led around walking through out the house.

Eating:  Check.  Everything you put in front of him.  Though he does have preferences that change daily.  One day he'll love peas and hate watermelon, the next he'll switch.  He's master his pincher grip and loves to move food from his tray to other surfaces.

Personality:  Whoa.  Double-Check.  This boy loves to emulate everything that you do.  He'll have a conversation with you, let you know when he does or does not want something, will yell, "heh," at you if he wants to say, "Hi!"  He is starting to like to snuggle here and there, especially when he first wakes up.  He wants to move, explore, and move some more.  He loves to walk around the house while holding your hands.  As he's about to do something that he knows he's not supposed to do, he'll look back at you to see what your going to do.  He's a fast crawler, loves the big pool and the little pool.  He loves to give kisses.  He just learned how to pick up his toys to put them away and will pick up every toy until they are all put away.   What an amazing boy!

Dance Walking!

Something Different, Something Heady

BA BA BA

Ba, Ba, Blacksheep? Ba, Ba, Boobies? Ba, Ba, Ball? What is it, Lawson?

Sitting up!

Lawson is really working hard at sitting up right now.  He can sit up for a good few minutes as long as he has a toy in his hands and there are no other toys around him distracting him to lunge for them.  

Learning new things

When I'm off work, I usually wake up with Lawson and bring him down stairs to listen to music and play.  We play together, sit and play with blocks, snuggle, and I try to teach him new things.  This morning, I was clapping along to some songs and using his hands to clap.   I didn't really think too much of it until later when Beth was playing with him and said he looked like he was trying to clap.  Maybe it's parents reading into our baby too much, but it sort of looks like he's trying to clap.  :-)
