My Baby's Growing Up!

In the two months since we got back from Myrtle Beach Eric made quite a few first, well I think he has. I try to record as many as possible just so I can see his progress, the next kid probably won't be as well documented. Which reminds me, our application for #2 has been approved. So, starts the paperwork, once we find out what all we need to do. Anyway here's the list of Eric's accomplishments since Myrtle Beach...

May 25...pulled to standing using Grandma's coffee table
May 26...found him standing in his crib waiting for me to get him up in the morning
May 27...stood up in his crib like a pro
May 29...started "cruising"
June 1...starting to hold on to just one hand when one "walks"him
June 2...puts his head on the floor, butt in the air and looks between his legs
June 8...took steps on his own between Grandpa's chair and the love seat
June 11...the two of us were hanging out and playing upstairs, I was on the floor reading when he came over and just stood up on his own
June 17... walked about four feet. Fell and got a bruise on his cheek when he hit the birdseed tin can.
June 18...walked about 6'
June 19...walked about 12'. Mamamamama has become our favorite thing to say.
June 20...had his picture taken at JC Penny. He just took off walking and went about 15'
June 21...he "tripped" crawling while Grandma and Grandpa were watching him at their house. Got a slight bloody lip. I couldn't tell anything happened.
June 25...he's very into going "bye-bye", that pretty much means he wants to go outside for any kind of walk, especially in the stroller. My mom was at our house, he picked up her sandal and threw it on her lap. He knows you have to have shoes on to go "bye-bye." Then he gets her to walk him around, holding his hand. They make a lap around the great room. Stop at the gate, waves "bye-bye." Keeps walking, stops and picks up her sandal, walks back to the gate and waves "bye- bye." He ain't no dummy. Too cute!
June 27...really starting to walk. More walking than crawling. Has just taken off!
