Last night Desmond took a step without support! He let go of the sofa to take a step and grab onto Dan. He did it twice. Eek! It seems that my baby boy is going to be walking before long, which is a really scary thought! He is just growing so fast.
So we went to my in-laws tonight to help trim the tree, and Desmond practiced his stair climbing. I thought I’d share him climbing and yes I am very afraid.
Desmond’s favorite thing to do now is climb. he loves climbing up onto the couch at night. He has to use Daddy’s leg as a step to get up though because it is just a bit too high for him.
Here are the pictures:
Oh hi Daddy how are you?
Must keep climbing!
I think that I’ll play with the laptop now I’m up here
What happens when he doesn’t get a good foothold.
Dan just poked me to look at the baby. He apparently wore himself out. In the first picture you can see part of his favorite toy behind him, the Wii Nunchuck. I know he is only wearing one sock, but he is happy like that. I have no clue where the fish came from in the third picture, it was apparently the angle of that picture that lets you see it and not in the others, but it amuses us that it just suddenly appeared in the pictures. And yes I was a nice Mommy and put a blanket over him before the third picture.
I apparently just lost a filling there is a nice hole in my tooth, whine I don’t want to go see the dentist, but since I don’t want my tooth to rot and have to be pulled either I guess the dentist it is. Yay novocaine shot and filling always my idea of a “fun” time. Unfortunately the filling that fell out is in an really annoying spot too so it is really obvious to me that it is gone, so I have to get it fixed soon.
So Desmond’s first word is: Hi, he has been saying it on and off for a week or two, but I wasn’t really sure if I was hearing him right. However, he definitely said it yesterday at the right time, and others heard him. So Desmond can say hi, when he feels like it. He is also babbling Dada, but he doesn’t say it about Dan yet, no Mama yet at all, but I’m sure that will be soon.
So Desmond now has his two front teeth just in time for Christmas, which means he has 6 teeth now. He’s been a bit fussy the past few days as the teeth came in, but hopefully he’ll be better now they have broken the skin.
He is crawling like a champ and crusing as well. He can stand alone for about 5 seconds now, so I have a feeling real walking may not be that far off. Oh and he can climb, his favorite thing to do in the evenings now is use Daddy’s leg to climb up on the sofa and then cruise around there pulling down whatever he finds. He can also climb stairs, he hasn’t gotten to do it at home yet, but he climbed up the stairs at my inlaws quite fast when we were there on Sunday. He is a very talented baby.
He’s also babbling a lot, so I figure he’ll say his first word soon, no clue what it will be yet though. He is getting so big, he is almost a toddler now, not a baby and he will turn 1 in less then 4 months eek! Time goes really fast.
I went out yesterday with my Mother in law and we took Desmond to see Santa. He had fun and we got a couple of cute pictures (which I’ll upload and share if I get around to it). It was nice going out with my Mother in Law.
I also finished the last of my holiday shopping, I found a decent gift for my Father in Law, which is good since the gift we did have was a bit lame. My mother in law also picked up a few things including a toy for Desmond.
All in all it was a nice day.
Here are a couple of pictures from the end of Novemberish. I took them of baby boy and figured I should share them too.
Help let me out:

So on Wednesday it snowed. We got around 3 inches, maybe more. It was Desmond’s first real snow, it actually snowed the day after he was born, but we were both in the hospital so I don’t really count that one.
Anyways we went out and played in the snow for a bit and I got some cute baby in the snow pictures So enjoy pictures of the cute baby.
