Waving Hello!

This morning DH decided to teach Handsome how to wave. I'm sure it had something to do with the doctor asking if Handsome could wave at the last doctor's appointment. We hadn't been waving to Handsome so he didn't have the opportunity to learn it. Well this morning we showed it to him and he instantly picked it up and has been waving to us all morning. Too cute!

His new favorite game is to pick things up and bring them to you. He will hand them to you waiting for you to be excited that he brought them to you. If you are excited about it he squeals in excitement and goes looking for the next thing to bring to you.

He is also getting into putting things in containers. We got one of those jars that you put shapes into for his birthday and he loves it.

Yesterday I took Handsome to a mother's meeting with a bunch of other kids. They were supposed to dance, but there was very little actual dancing going on. There was a lot of playing though. They had colors out and a bubble blowing machine. I was impressed with Handsome. He is typically very shy and doesn't want to go beyond arms length when we are in public. Well yesterday after he ate his yogurt and cheerios he started walking all over the place to even corners where I couldn't see him anymore. (It was a closed room so I didn't worry about him getting away or anything.) He would try to follow the other little boys that were running around. He looked so independent. My little shy boy was out there trying to make friends and just explore.

I'm so proud of my little boy. He's growing up so fast.
