--Eats solid foods better and better every day, but still doesn't love it. Yogurt and bananas are the foods he actually enjoys sometimes.
--Is doing much better with his stranger anxiety. He has done great in the church nursery for a few Sundays now, and does much better with babysitters.
--Does not sleep through the night. We have given up on that. In order to help him sleep better, we have him sleep in bed with us. Our next purchase: king size bed.
--Babbles all of the time. As for babbles representing specific things, we THINK he specifically labels me 'mama,' Rudi 'dada,' and 'baa' for ball
--LOVES balls. He throws them, crawls after them, and then throws them again.
--Can stand alone for at least one minute. Despite how good he is at standing, he has yet to take his first steps. This morning I was trying to coax him to take a step, and he just started crying.
