x-posted, since it grew into a real entry
1 yr., 2 mo. So many (mostly cute) things he's started doing recently! When our cat yowls his, "I'm all aloooone!" yowl, the baby answers! Every time!
(kitchen) "Mrrooooowwwwrrr!"
(dining room) "Ah, ah!"
(kitchen) "Mrrroooow!"
(dining room) "Ah!"
The baby has started singing. There is a noticeable tune (if no words yet). Sometimes he just sings to himself as he cruises around the room. The other day he started "singing along" with a techno TV commercial. Hopefully he has not inherited my tone-deafness. I can't tell.
All the drawers are belong to baby! This is a bit of a pickle. He opens everything! We'd removed all the dangerous stuff from our coffee table drawers, but now he's getting into everything in the pantry, too--you know, where we store lightbulbs and batteries and tape and cord and...all sorts of things I'd rather he not get his hands on! And the drawers are flush to the cabinet, which makes unobtrusive childproofing latches so not happening.
Baby wants to feed us too! Because that's just what you do, right? You pick up food and put it in other people's mouths? That's what he always sees the grownups doing....
He pushes everything around. Chairs, his toys, the playard, his cats.... He's pretty strong.
Next doctor's appointment is in two weeks, and I am biting my fingernails in anticipation. I am not at all good at waiting to find things out (like blood lead levels).
