Getting so big!!

This week, actually it was mostly today, Milo has learned quite a bit! He is just too smart for his (or my) own good.

Today we got down clapping. There is no sound to it, but he has the motions down, and anytime there is clapping on TV he gets so excited and starts clapping.

We also started working on some sign language today. Today we worked on, and got pretty good at "more". It looks a lot like clapping, and sometimes he claps after he says/signs more. Sometimes he gets so excited that he can do it, that he just keeps signing it, even though he still has food in his mouth.

Earlier this week he mastered going from his belly to sitting up. The first few times it took a while to keep his balance and get up, but now he's knows he just has to go up on his toes and swing his leg over and he's up. smart little boy

When I put him down for his afternoon nap, he didn't want to at first and was crying in his crib. I let him for a few minutes before going in to check on him, knowing he has been working hard on pulling himself up to standing on the couches. When I walked in, there he was, holding on to and standing in the corner of his crib, yelling at me, letting me know that he didn't want to go to sleep. (he was out within the next 2 minutes)


And now some pictures, because blogs are boring with out them and you know you want to see how awesomely cute he is ;)

Milo and his puppy. They hate to be apart. While Milo plays with his toys, Tank must sit next to or on while he chews on his own toys. it's pretty cute. When Tank is in his kennel, Milo will crawl to it so he can play with his puppy. Milo is also very good at sharing his food with Tank and letting him clean off his hands. Or my favorite, when they are in the back of the car together, Tank will try to get in Milo's car seat, so they can stay close.

Milo rocks at playing guitar. He even knows how to hold it and what to do with his fingers. NO this was not posed, he did this on his own, a couple of times even.
