Explore, explore, that is what you love to do. Sometimes I will be folding the laundry and think that you are in the kitchen playing and then all is quiet. As I peek my head out the door I don't see you in the kitchen, but instead exploring in the living room or crawling down the hallway in the search of your next adventure. Of course after a few minutes of playing you realize you are by yourself and start to cry for somebody to play with you. You are crawling on all fours now and you are pretty fast too, especially when you something or someone! But your biggest achievement is cruising all over the place. You pull yourself up on anything and everything and walk around and along the object as far as you can. You are pretty quick too, I don't think it will be long before you are trying to take that first step. You can clap your hands together now. You always smile when you clap too, it's so cute. You can almost say the dog's name, at least we know what you are trying to say. You and Ocho are like best friends, you are always looking for him and whenever you are close he is laying right beside you. Sometimes Ocho will be sleeping on the couch and you like to go over there and smack him on the face to wake him up so he will play with you. You are learning about sizes and that things can go inside each other. I love watching you while you are trying to figure out how this works. You get quiet with a serious look on your face, then after about a minute you sigh and look up at me with a laugh and a smile. You love to talk - you will go on and on in your own gibberish talk and sometimes you can get pretty loud when we are not listening! It is fun to have a conversion with you, even though we don't know what each other saying. You got your second tooth on February 1. I think this one was harder on you than the first one. It was the second bottom front one. I can't believe how big you are getting and how much you can grown. In just the time it took for you to grow in my tummy you have become this little boy that is starting to walk and talk and be your own little person.
