"Who took the time?!" Ben and his family were here just last week for a visit and as their time here was drawing to a close Halle said those words :) And now I'm saying them because seriously- 10 months already?! We had such a big time with Ben, Rhonda, Halle and Ezra during their visit. Lots of fun cousin time! Axel loved watching all of them playing- and pulling their hair- oops. He's got busy hands that love to grab and doesn't yet understand how his hands can hurt. Thankfully his cousins were gracious and forgiving :)
Axel's Stats:
Height: 31 inches
Weight: 24 lbs
Axel started crawling 2 weeks ago. He started with bear crawling VIDEO, and seems to me mostly knees now. And man is he motoring! Crawling everywhere and pulling up to stand any chance he gets. He likes to practice standing too. He is SO proud of himself when he's standing there balancing himself. Then he'll start to fall and he laughs. And he'll do it all over again- making a game of it. He even plays fetch with himself. VIDEO
He's got a lot of personality and opinions. He knows what he likes and is not afraid to let you know when you've made him happy, or mad. VIDEO He babbles and squeals and makes all sorts of noises, but still no first word yet. and no teeth yet either :) VIDEO
He's as happy and as easy going as ever, but loves more interaction these days. He'll happily play on his own, and then crawl over for some bouncing and the stand/fall game, then go play on his own again. He's into everything- which is ok for the most part (yay baby proofing), but every once in a while he'll get his hands on something he shouldn't play with (an old laundry detergent bottle, a shoe or a remote) and when we take it he throws a bit of a fit, but recovers quickly with some diversion.
He's sleeping well through the night- just a couple nights of tough love letting him cry it out a month ago and he's been right back into a regular sleep schedule (hooray!). He takes a couple good naps during the day at regular times, too. He goes to sleep easily and typically wakes up happy.
