He sits independently. He plays quite happily by himself as long as you start him off near the toy bins.
He crawls. Quickly. Through the chair legs and even up the stairs.
He pulls up to standing on the furniture.
He got his first two teeth (not simultaneously - a week and a half apart). He eats solid foods. And eats and eats. And eats. He's a bottomless pit. He still snuggles quite freely, although now that he's mobile he won't stay for long. He loves to blow raspberries. He's obsessed with jumping and makes my triceps burn every day. He's a champion sleeper but is unhappy that we're trying to move him into Hazel's room. He's grown quite accustomed to his tight quarters in our bathroom.
Hazel's latest is that she's hoarding all her possessions in every container she can find up as high as she can reach so that Jack won't choke/won't touch her stuff. My counter top has looked like this for days:
The couch blanket was missing for days until I found it today stuffed behind the TV.
OCD??? She's so funny.
In other big news, Hazel's been in big girl panties for four days straight and only had one accident so far. Hooray! I'm really hoping this is the real deal and I'll have a fully potty-trained child in a week or two. The big hurdle: #2. She still hasn't pooped in the potty. I'm getting nervous for constipation issues. Any advice would be welcome.
Hazel's deep into her pretend world. She currently spends a lot of time being Sleeping Beauty, Nephi, Mommy, and Baby Hazel. She's also started having toys act out parts instead of having to be the character herself.
We signed her up for parent/tot swimming lessons this summer. She is a lot more confident in the water than she was last year. She likes to hold on to the wall of the pool and coast around the perimeter. She's also fairly comfortable with blowing bubbles in the water, but she won't stick her whole face in yet.
I'm trying to motivate myself to start up a book club. Todd's prepping to run a 100 mile marathon (again). We're recuperating from vacation, which I will blog about sometime soon, I hope.
