Dash Update

Dash is such a happy, content, sweet baby. He is chubby and squishy and we can't get enough of him. He babbles and talks and laughs all the time. He is crawling fast everywhere now and is into everything. He wears me out so much sometimes I find myself really really looking forward to nap times and bedtime:) he loves to crawl up the stairs and does really well but doesn't know how to get back down. He pulls himself up to standing on everything and has even started pulling away and balancing for a few seconds. 

          His favorite things are pulling my scrapbook paper off the shelf, digging through the drawer that has kids dishes in it, pulling things off the lowest shelf in the pantry, climbing stairs, splashing in the tub, snuggling his blankies, playing with his siblings, copying is when we click our tongues or breathe in and out of our nose really fast (he is really good at both of these things:), playing with his sit and learn chair... He truly is such a joy. A busy one, but a joy none the less:) he is a pretty good eater for the most part. 
          Some of his favorite foods include: avocados, olives, oranges, peaches, pears, strawberries, blueberries, beans... He's not a fan of carrots, broccoli (although he will eat those in baby food form). He also loves eating a whole graham cracker. 
       He now has 4 teeth with more breaking through. He almost completely weaned himself about a month ago when his top teeth were breaking through and he was biting... The natural reaction from me of course is to gasp and scream out in pain and he took offense;).  He eventually forgave me and went back to nursing.  It was a rough couple days tho in the meantime!
