Who is this kid?!

So, Oskar said "Dada" this morning when my husband got him out of bed. Then, he said it a few more times through out the morning. This makes his third word... at 7 months.

I also just discovered another tooth while changing his diaper. That makes 2, both on the bottom.

He seems like he's blowing through all these "milestones" so quickly! I think I have a super baby on my hands! :)

Updates...

I think I've decided to move all my personal baby talk over here rather than on Facebook. I have so many friends that get all touchy when you talk about your child too much. So, in an effort to avoid drama, I remove myself from it first.

Today, we finally had some success with the sippy cup! He had a bit of water in it by himself in the morning. Then, he had a bit of his milk at lunch in it. I've been trying for several weeks to get him to start drinking from it, in an effort to begin the bottle weaning process. We haven't had much luck though because he just couldn't figure it out. Today, I tried another mom's trick of putting some of his vegetables on the spout and it worked like a charm!

He's also beginning to scoot, push up on his knees, and creep around. So, I think we may be ready for some crawling really soon! Currently, he just rolls all over the place until he gets to where he wants to go.

It's really amazing watching him learn how to do something new almost daily now. I'm so thankful that I am able to stay at home with him for the time being. I would miss out on all of this if he was in daycare... even if he does drive me crazy sometimes! I'm starting to get into the groove of this mommy thing and it's making me feel great!
