Squatting, weaning, and walking

Last week, when big guy was having all of his medical adventures, hubs and I kept him out of daycare. And amazingly he started a whole lot of new stuff. Besides saying all kinds of new words- he said "hat" yesterday!!! He also started almost walking- I know, I know. I've been saying this for weeks. But seriously, he mastered squatting- like he's a baseball catcher/yoga instructor and was showing it off at his b-day party.

Not only squatting, but then standing up and clapping for himself, before resting back in the squatting position. It's absolutely hilarious and adorable! Then on wednesday, after the surgery, big guy started taking steps by himself. We've been encouraging this by letting him walk with our hands and then letting go once he's up and moving. so, cute. And then on friday, he stood up, took three steps towards his truck, and then grabbed his truck and started walking! It was awesome. He did it again on saturday!

And in another big move, big guy decided he was done with bottles at snack time! That's right, the child weaned himself from the two bottles during the day. He still drinks from one in the morning- begrudgingly and right before bed. However, our dr was very impressed! I was slightly worried that he won't be getting enough milk, but she said he'd even out and start drinking more from the cup. Which is what has been happening. He's doing great, squatting, weaning, and walking!
