Many Milestones

Well, after months of wondering and waiting, the day is finally here. I sprouted my first tooth! Mommy first found it over Labor Day (just over 8 months old) and she's both excited and a little bit trepedetious since I'm still breastfeeding. She keeps threatening that one bite and I'm done ... we'll see.

Look carefully!

I'm ready to put that tooth to good use. I'm getting tired of all that babyfood and want the good stuff! Anything that I see Mommy putting in her mouth is fair game for me to eat, or so I think.

I'll do this for you, Xiao-Jiu, but only because I love you


How much longer are you going to make me eat the mushy stuff?

One for you

And one for me

Now, see, this is what I'm talking about

Claire's scared I'm going to steal her food ...
and I will!

About mid-September, I really started crawling in addition to pulling up on everything. I'm pretty darn fast, though I have to admit the crawl is more of a propeling action.

Trying to decide where to head next

And I'm also starting to become a copycat. I first surprised Mommy and Daddy one morning when Mommy said, "say hi to Daddy, Gavin!" and I waved hello. Now I'm starting to pick up other things like if you cough, I'll cough; you say, "ah", and I'll say, "ah"; if you screech, I'll screech (I learned that from my big sis). You should give it a shot!

Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!

My well-baby visit isn't until October, so come back and check out my stats! Come check out more pics of me growing up in our album online!
