slowly but surely.

stetson is slowly starting to be interested in moving around...he can scoot backwards on his belly but hasn't figured out how to go forward yet.  when he's in his bed, he is constantly getting up on all fours and rocking until he goes forward onto his belly...he even pushed himself up onto his bottom in a sitting position the other day.  he also moves around in his walker (backwards) and has started jumping in his johnny jump up.  now that he's trying to move around, he has become more interested in the things around our house...i guess this means sometime soon we need to babyproof.  he's still super content playing with his toys and will play with the same one for long periods of time.  his babbling is so funny to listen to...he can make so many sounds now and he puts them all together like he's really trying to tell you something.  he tries to copy any sounds you make with your mouth and will randomly repeat a word.  unfortunately, the one sound he hasn't made yet is MAMA.  i'm pretty sure he calls both of us da da...sometimes da dee...or the other morning when i went in to get him he said "hey deedee".  i keep saying mama to him but that's one of the few things he doesn't try to repeat.  he also has started trying to push me away when i'm kissing on him, but i keep reminding him i waited a long time to have my own baby to kiss.  his birthday is less than 3 weeks away and i can't believe it.

Luke didn't say Mama until almost two. It's worth the wait!
