Some pictures of (almost) 11 month old Adam from our Marine World Trip last Sunday.
He saw the Dolphin and Orca shows, but slept through the sharks, seals, and the walrus.
This is ridiculous.
Nearly 3 minutes of hanging out in the stairs. He was there for several minutes prior which prompted me to record him. At first, he was just lying on the mid step as seen half way through the video.
Adam’s Totally Walking Around Now
The last couple of days we’ve seen Adam transitioning from crawling to walking as his main mode of transportation. He’s still basically a newborn deer trying to walk, but that’s still pretty good.
Not only is he walking around now, but he’s also playing soccer. He plays alone, basically, but kicks a ball around my moms house. They’re all surprised he knows to kick it. I think it is pretty natural - as natural as he hits everything else.
Not only does he play soccer, but now wereallyhave to watch him vigilantly. I thought we had to watch him when we started crawling, now he can climb on things, like the coffee table and the bay window. I don’t know how parents keep their children’s brains intact.
I have taken some really neat videos in the last few weeks too.
I want to share, but again, some are upside down, or sideways, or too long and need to be edited. I haven’t had a lot of time, but I should soon.
I’ve been posting a lot on instagram lately - breakingthespell
Baby update
Adam takes several steps by himself now. That video was nothing compared to now.
He enjoys the music of The Rapture, apparently. He was dancing to the Misfits theme song.
I think teaching Adam to hi-5 has lead to him smacking people in the face.
Adam last Monday.
This is how a lot of interactions go.
Bonnie and I took Adam to San Francisco this weekend. We got to check out the Farmer’s Market at Embarcadero and browsed the Ferry Building shops. Here’s us waiting across the street from the shops while we were waiting.
Adam did very well on BART. He slept a lot of the time we were moving, which was surprising with how loud it got. He wasn’t really any trouble while we were out either. He even let me change his diaper in the public restroom!
Adam plays with some multi-lingual toys. He makes the cute noises he’s been making lately, at the end.
One word
Pretty sure Adam just said mamadadapoopoo. Pretty sure… He seemed happy about it, so I think he was joking. He doesn’t really think we’re both poopoo
9 months
There are a lot of different sounds coming out of his face lately. Some of them are starting to sound like words, rather than just primal screams.We’re pretty sure he was saying daddy to me last night. Also out of his mouth: The sixth tooth has made it’s way through so it doesn’t look like just a nub. That makes four on top and two on bottom. I’ve said it before, but his bites are ridiculously painful.
I took the baby to work on Tuesday. He was a handful this time. Last time I brought him he was content to just be held by me. This time, not so much. He’s always on the move now. He doesn’t like to be kept in one place for too long. I’ve begun to create barricades at home (because we don’t have those fancy gates yet) because he’s always trying to go where we don’t want him. His naps are decreasing throughout the day too. There was a time when I could count of having almost two hours to myself when I’m home with him. Here’s a picture of when he fell asleep for a half hour:
