Oh, my little baby's basically all grown up! When does he become a Toddler, when he starts toddling unassisted? Right now, I'd say he's more of a Tumbler, but he's been circling the coffee table on his own for a few minutes now looking for choking hazards to ingest. The world is apparently chock full of irresistibly appetizing choking hazards, who knew?!
Other than his super sturdy legs keeping him upright for most of his waking hours, his mouth is his busiest body part. If it doesn't have a huge grin on it, it's likely stuffed with his thumb going in or his tongue sticking out. But one thing his mouth is always full of now is TEETH! His first 2 appeared right at 6 months, then his top 2 followed at 9 months. A couple days after Christmas we looked in his mouth and there were all the sudden 3 more! His 8th little nubbin just broke through, and now gnawing on a soft juicy pear with all those incisors is one of his favorite things to do.
Other current favorites include bath time, pulling everything out from drawers or cabinets, cruising, babbling, keeping Mommy from getting work done, and anything with Sissy, or as he calls her "Issy!"
We're still traveling together; toting his portable high chair, potty chair, and toy box to Florida last week and Georgia next week. But his sidekicking days are numbered, as he can't be kept still or quiet, and it's going to be impossible to baby-proof the whole veterinary world. I don't take for granted one minute that I've had with this precious guy. God has truly blessed me to be able to do the two jobs I love so much, serving as a CVM Region Rep and serving as a mommy, at the same time.

| If you ask him what the lion says, and he's in the right mood, he just might ROAR back at you. :) |

| Still not crawling, but scooting backwards enough to get himself into some tight spots, like this one. |
