We recently had to lower RF's crib mattress because he decided it was time for him to pull up on the sides - talk about scaring his mama. I sat him in his crib with a few books, walked to our laundry room and back (I was gone maybe 20 seconds) and when I get back I see him standing up, holding on to the rails of his crib...yet another milestone that I cannot believe is happening.
He has also realized that he can get on his hands and knees. It doesn't last long - maybe 5 seconds or so before he falls down, but for those 5 seconds he thinks he is big stuff. Once he's on his hands and knees he rocks back and forth - which RA did as a baby, too.
Toys - RF has lots of toys. He has books, stacking toys, blocks, and teething toys amongst other things. We have come to learn that he enjoys new toys - things that aren't necessarily baby toys, but things that entertain him none the less. This past week that included: a paper plate, a small box, a whisk, a spatula, a measuring cup, a washcloth, and a cowbell. These are in addition to his love of the TV remotes, our cell phones/iPad and his computer keyboard.
Everyday is new and exciting for him - it's a great reminder to appreciate the small things in life and to greet each day anew.
He's a Hawk - loves to climb...
Enjoying the fresh air
Standing up
He loves to be outside...he just sits and takes it all in
Being taken care of by Zoey girl (and Aunt Hartley) :-)
Zoey was a bit jealous of RF's blocks...
I put a little bit of water on his high-chair tray - he was amazed.
LOVES to pull up on everything...

I'm naked, mama...why are you taking my picture? :-)
Apparently washcloths are fun to chew on...
Daddy walked in - this is the look on his face every time he sees his daddy...
Fun times...with a box...
