He started saying "da da." He also makes a noise that sounds like "cat" and says something that sounds suspiciously close to "grandma." I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean to actually say these things as descriptions or titles, but if we say "mama" "dada" or "grandma" he will smile and look at the appropriate person. He never smiles when he says cat, he just looks very seriously in the general direction of George or Sweet Pea.
He rolls onto his belly in his crib when he's sleeping, which wakes him up and makes him really cranky.
He is beginning to "understand object performance" as the baby books put it. He will bang things against each other, splash in the water, press the buttons that make noise on his toys and drop/throw his sippy cups.
Either his appetite has improved or he has become less of a picky eater. Now all his bowls are clean at the end of every meal. He tried asparagus today and LOVED it. He also came around on bananas and peaches and he likes those as well. We've been giving him gerber graduate puffs, which are basically banana flavored cheerios. He usually just moves them around on his tray and then pulls them off, but sometimes he'll pick it up in the palm of his hand and transfer it to his mouth. He hasn't mastered the pincer grasp yet.

He loves water just like his mama. He drinks it all day long from a sippy cup. Hates juice.
Finally takes baths in a big tub! The first few nights, I think he was a little freaked out by it. But by the third night, he was splashing and kicking and having a great old time.
He sometimes gets scared around strangers or cries when I walk out of the room. Usually he will happily go to other people though.
He wrinkles his nose when he smiles really big, showing off all of his gums. Cutest. Smile. Ever.
He gives big, slobbery kisses when asked for them, grabbing both sides of the other person's face to pull them in closer.
He really loves reading all of his books. He'll pull them over to his lap and turn the pages, pausing occasionally to bite the edges.
