Big boy, happy boy!

Our little baby is growing up fast! I know in past posts I've lamented over these changes happening but honestly, it's gotten to be really exciting to see him reach new milestones! Here are some of the latest things our little man has been up to:

-First word was Mama (I think at 6 months-have to check the baby book-is that awful or what?) now, he is OBSESSED with saying "Dada"! Says it constantly. Also, big daddy's boy as of late. Love seeing the relationship grow stronger between Josh and him. (although, I did get a little sad the first time he wanted to go to Josh over me. Josh was quick to remind me that he's been "preferring" me the last 8 1/2 months so I should quit it! Always the voice of reason... :))

-Recently started "growling" at us-if we growl back, he returns it with a huge smile...and more growls. Fun game-definitely our child. (we're a little weird but most people still like us)

-Started crawling this week! Had been crawling backwards for the last couple of weeks but went forward yesterday and since then has gone nuts! Likes to try to pull himself up to furniture. Not very interested in playing with us as often as he used to because he is too "busy" but every once in a while gives us his full attention.

-Still an amazing sleeper. I try not to write about this too much so I don't jinx anything! (or annoy anyone who is in the opposite boat) He has a great bedtime routine and sleeps 11-13 hours a night.

-Loves eating puffs! (I think this is common across the board though) Working on finger foods...mom and dad are still cautious but taking baby steps. Still breastfed in the morning and at night, takes bottles 2-3x a day while I'm at work but also eats solids 3-4x a day. Pureed foods, puffs, small cut up fruits or veggies and occasionally will eat/suck on fruit or veggies from the mesh container. (can't think of what it's actually called)

-Loves his daycare! Such a relief. We love it too. Teachers have told me he loves the music classes (YES!!!) and really starts dancing and getting excited when they have their "Shabbat's".

Here are some pics from his day with Nana! These made my day:
