First Tooth and First Step

Last weekend, Silas got sick with a fever and had a terribly runny nose. I didn't know where it came from. He was so miserable, the worst we've seen him. Then a few days later we noticed his first bottom tooth popping through. Reece and Isaac got their first tooth at 12 months and never got fevers, so this was new for me. So, January 16 was his first tooth.

Then yesterday I put two blocks in Silas' hands and he took two tiny steps. He took two more steps today, so he's on his way.

Silas 10 months

Our little man is quickly growing. He's getting very close to walking, we thought he'd be walking by now since he's been crawling for so long. It doesn't stop him from getting anywhere he wants as fast as he can go. He tries to sneak up the stairs anytime the gate is open. He has a new found love for drum sticks. He's also recently discovered how to push cars on the carpet to make them go (I don't know how little boys learn that stuff, they just know). This is a video of him this morning at Reece's Karate class pushing his car along the floor. He can also be quite loud and boisterous, trying to get our attention. The password is 3737 He's still a really good sleeper and overall a very happy baby. He wants to do everything his older brother and sister do, and gets frustrated when he can't. He loves to give open mouth kisses. Isaac always wants to hold him or carry him around. He can say "Da" for daddy, and "Ma ma ma" for mama. Love that kiddo.
