How I Grow

• I am getting 2 new teeth on the bottom...one is a molar!
• I love to climb over mommy, daddy, Molly and Riley! I can climb up a couple stairs but then don't know what to do.
• I love books! I can focus for a long time with a book... opening the book, turning the pages, touching the pictures..and then ripping out the pages!
• I love to open and close doors and baby gates.
• I am crawling EVERYWHERE! I have rough spots on my knees from crawling.
• I am cruising around the furniture more. I go after anything within reach! I can use my walker toy too.... but it's still a little too fast for me. I can walk a little if you hold my hands.
