Here are some audio files (plus some other ones) of him I recently said I’d post.
First here he is ooing and cooing I think a month or so ago.. at mabye 7 or 8 months old (~ 1 minute).
And here he is with me bearing zurbets, and growling and grunting back and forth with me (~ 2.5 minutes). In one part you can hear him make a very low repeated chest grunt in a duet with me. This and the following are all at 9 months old –
Singing (~ 2 minutes), bouncing (~ 1.5 minutes), and exhuberantly bearing my tickling (~ 1 minute).
He has four front teeth – two top and bottom. He has had the extra two since.. two weeks or so? We thought just a third was coming in and the fourth came really fast.
Yesterday he bit my nose and cheek affectionately. When he wakes up sometimes he’ll go for the stuffed animals just out of reach on the shelf beside his crib (we’re going to try to get them in reach) – recently he was pulling at a stuffed frog between the bars, clacking it’s hard plastic eyeball against the crib repeatedly.
He called for me today saying “da-da.” “Ma-ma” is very frequent. When Tia brings him to me on mornings that I sleep in a bit later he grins and pants like a puppy and sometimes wrestles my head. He does the same to Tia when I bring him to her in the morning.
.. he kicks his legs a lot and wiggles all his limbs when he’s very excited.
He enjoys walks in the stroller – just contentedly looks at everything.
