He has walked across the living room several times ALL BY HIMSELF! When he is walking toward that musical cube, of course! :)
This morning he was trying to scoop food onto his spoon and put it into his mouth (with a lot of help) - but the important part is that he WANTS to put food into his mouth!
He can climb up the stairs! Now for this, I still have to prompt him by touching his arm or leg and telling him "knee up," "stand up," "reach up," etc. but he does all the moving by himself.
This one may seem like a small thing, but while I was putting on his shirt yesterday, Kellin was holding a toy in his hand. As he pushed each arm through the sleeves (which he does on his own now), he shifted the toy to the other hand so it wouldn't be in the way. A little bit of problem-solving that I haven't seen before!
He has started to occasionally use his signs without using our hands when he is especially motivated to get something, such as his cube or blankie.
We have started putting him down for his nap in the living room rather than his crib, which means he has only been sleeping for 15-30 minutes at naptime, which has resulted in him sleeping much better at night! I don't know if this will be the long-term plan, but so far it's an experiment that is working.
And I will leave you with a cute picture of my boys!
