Over the past couple of months, Diego decided to stop messing around and get to work. He now has two bottom teeth (and is working on the top level), he has mastered the sitting thing, he has a black belt in crawling backwards, and has pumped enough iron to pull himself up to a standing position. Dang! Mom and Dad have been furiously baby proofing the house.
He has also caught on quickly to signing and uses the signs for "eat" and "milk" frequently and appropriately. We also gave up hope on his first word being either Mama or Dada, as he loves to shout "gat!" every time he sees Ravenna. To her credit, she does find him more and more fascinating and even gets close enough to allow him to grab her now and then. This, of course, results in very furry baby hands. Ew.
Some of Diego's favorite things right now are:
Nancy Drew lunch box. Diego *hearts* Nancy Drew (and Nanna of course)
Playing until he passes out on Mommy
Being laundry
Bath time with strategically placed ducks
Eating sour fruit
And acting a fool with Daddy
