Our little monkey

There's no question that Nicholas is a boy - he loves to climb. When we hold him now, he tries to climb up and over our shoulders. When we're at restaurants, he grabs onto the chairs like a koala bear. When he's on our couch, he loves it when he's facing the back part so that he can practice standing. He's a complete monkey and he's building abs of steel. He hates to be on his back and loves it when he can situp. He's not strong enough to sit up on his own yet, but I'm sure it's not too far off before he accomplishes that.

He's also now weeks away from crawling. He's able to get onto all fours and he rocks back and forth. He's not quite sure how to move forward, and will whine in frustration after a few minutes of trying to do that.

The bouncy chairs' days are now also limited. I found him last week with his head completely leaning over the chair to the ground in an attempt to break out of the chair.  I am sure that he'll soon figure out how to rock himself in the chair until it tips.

I think we need to build a baby gym for him soon!
