Sorry, your Mommy is not the most prompt when it comes to your monthly updates! Maybe it's because you are growing up too fast and I'm just trying to prolong it. You have learned so much this month, it's hard to keep up! You move so fast sometimes I feel like I'm chasing you. If there was an equivalent to running with crawling, that's what you do! Most of the time you crawl with your left knee down and stepping out with your 
right foot. You love to follow us around the house and also like being "chased". You will often crawl away really fast and then sit up, turn around, and look to make sure you are being followed, giggling the whole time. You are doing a few new things now. You are using Mama and Dada more, and actually meaning it. You are saying one more "word" now, too! Everytime we show you your rubber ducky, you get a huge smile on your face and start saying "du, du, du, du". You are also kinda starting to learn what the word no means, although most times you choose to ignore it! Reese, you have learned how to turn the pages in your books. But you have also learned to tear the pages, so we only have out the cardboard books now...but you love them!! You are getting better with the sippy cup, but still really just like to chew on it. You are standing a lot by yourself and love to let go of whatever you are holding onto. You can stand without holding on to anything for close to a minute. You are also very deliberate about sitting down. You rarely just plop down anymore. You like to walk behind your Learning Farm and are getting pretty good about controlling the speed...especially on the hardwood.

We have tried some more meats and a few stage 3 foods. You are not crazy about the texture of the stage 3 foods. If you don't like something, you will spit it out! We won't give up, though Your current favorites are macaroni and cheese and Hawaiian fruit smoothie (which is pineapples and bananas, mostly) and if we'd let you have those every meal, you'd be a happy little baby! We have lowered the amount of your bottles by 1 oz each, so now you are getting four 6 oz bottles a day. You seem to be a happy, content little boy.
Mommy and Daddy love you very much and love watching you grow and change everyday (even though we can't stop it!).
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
I remember when I put up the paper books! I haven't bought any since! He's a cutie for sure. Can't wait to spend some time with y'all next week!
