Big Barend!

So he's officially said dadadada and mamama. He said mama first about a week ago and just last night we were playing with him upstairs and Trav was trying to get him to say dada. Sure enough, "dadadadadada" came out. I don't think he really knows what it means yet, but we're working on that part. He also got his knees underneath him for the first time and instead of using his arms for support, he leaned forward and used his head to stabalize himself.

Just in the past week he's also discovered his shadow. He will get really still when you hold him up so he can stand and then flap his arms really fast and dance and then just smile : ) Then he'll get really still and repeat the process. Cute!

He loves mirrors. Loves remote controls. Loves alarm clocks.

Our baby is getting soooo big : ) 7 months old...
