11 Months

We have a LOT to catch up on. This month Coda and I went to China. Later we all went to the cabin for labor day weekend. But those can have their own separate posts. Today we'll just skip that part :). This month Coda started lots of things. He clicks his tongue, and loves when you do it back. He claps his hands, and even does it when you ask... sometimes. The cutest thing he's started doing is guiding our hands to help him out. Like if there's a button he can't push, he'll grab your finger and guide it right to the button. It's awesome! He's thought about walking, but seems to have decided crawling is faster. He does cruise around holding onto furniture, or one of my hands. He is great at standing. He loves animals, especially dogs and cats. He has added bababah and mama to his vocabulary, although dada and his chewbacca sound are still his favorites.

Coda has become quite the explorer. Most of his more impressive journeys have been to find me. Once, at the Taylors, I was cooking up in the kitchen. Chris was watching Coda down in the living room. There are about 5 steps up from the living room to kitchen, and all the floors are tile. Coda hadn't done stairs before, so I was sure surprised to see him come crawling into the kitchen with a TV remote in one hand. Not only had he climbed the tile stairs, he had done it one handed...
