What a month!

This month has been a flurry of new activites for Steven!

Earlier this month Tommy started taking to Steven to the Zoo on Thursday mornings for Toddling Troupe. It is basically a chance for Friends of the Zoo members to come out early, here a zoo keeper talk and then wander the zoo before it is open to the public. My boys enjoy going because they get a front row seat when the sea lions get their breakfast. Some day I might play hookie and go out there, too!

Steven and Tommy also go to the library on Wednesday mornings for story time. Steven likes to yell during the stories but he is learning to play nice with the other babies.

Steven has continued his crawling adventures but still hasn't figured out how to move his arms independently of one another, he still does the butterfly/belly flop crawl. He sure is fast, though. We have to keep our attention focused or he finds shoes to chew on, door stops to boing, or heavy furniture to run in to!

He is really starting to develop his personality and I think we are hitting the stage where he only wants mommy or daddy. We get to hear a lot of crying if we don't carry him around constantly! But I miss him a lot during the day so I don't mind obliging him when he asks!
