Milestones/What's new:
- climbs the stairs - May 28th

- syllables! 'Ma-ma', 'Da-da', 'Ba-ba'.


Loves:
- getting into things. Honest, he is EVERYWHERE!!! His favourite place is under the table, so he can eat any scraps that fall to the ground. I call him Hoover :)
- pulling himself up to standing. He will hold onto anything and try to pull himself up. He has excellent balance. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts standing unassisted in the near future.
- Nola and Robbie. He can watch them ALL. DAY. LONG. He has the biggest and brightest smiles for him. Robbie has recently taken a shining to John and he is just loving it.
- going for walks, wether in the ERGO or stroller. He's happy to be out observing the world.
- eating. My oh my, does this boy have an appetite. And he is not picky at all - if he can eat it, he is happy.

Mommy loves:
- watching him explore. This is such an amazing age - everything is new and exciting. When he grabs something, he turns it around in his hands to observe every part of it, puts it in his mouth, whacks it on the ground and stares at it again - you can just see those little wheels turning.
- bedtime/naptime snuggles.
- those big, blue, doe eyes, his wild 'Einstein' hair and his little toothy smile!
- Nola giving him his bottle. She always asks to feed him and its just beautiful.
