Cool new skills!

Avi is now:

• cruising along the wall.
• standing for a split second without support before grabbing something.
• easily lowering himself to the floor when he's tired of standing.
• opening a book and turning the pages himself.
• putting toys into his toy box (sometimes) and taking them out (always!)
• refusing any bottle- it's sippy cups or nothing!
• pursing his lips, puffing up his cheeks, and blowing out a bunch of air.
• singing along with us, and sometimes repeating tone patterns!
• taking my hands and making them clap.
• taking my hand and making it wave "bye bye."
• eating his food all by himself, with minimal support. No more baby food or spoons- it's all fruit, veggies, sandwiches, crackers, etc.
• having mighty tantrums when he doesn't get his way. (Not a cool skill, I must admit...)
