Developmental changes :D

Alden has grown so much! He can do more tricks now.

1. I forgot to mention that he has become really good at using his sippy cup for quite a while now. He can hold it w/o handles or with one hand and drink. Plus, if he starts by holding it upside down, he will use both hands to turn it around so he can get water out.

2. He's a biter, pincher, poker, scratcher, and a puller. lol. He bites fingers, shoulders, and arms with the 6 teeth that he has. It hurts quite a lot. He's also really good at pinching with his little fingers. lol. He also scratches with his small finger nails. He also likes to poke your nose (inside of your nose), and that hurts the most... :'( He also likes to pull on mommy's hair.... (sigh)


Joe's big toe with bite marks...
3. He can now easily pull himself up and almost walk along furniture. He walks if we hold his hands, but he walks really funny, using mostly his right leg.
4. He also likes to run around in circle on the floor like Sophie. :D
5. He can officially say Mom and Food in Korean.
6. He's gotten really good at blowing raspberries. But watch out, he'll start biting while pretending to blow raspberries!
7. He's getting two more teeth on the bottom, and has been drooling a lot lately because of that.
8. He's started to wave bye and hi.
9. He kind of says, "More," but he expresses his wants more by waving his arms up and down in the air or beating the floor or the table with his hands.
10. We still have no idea what he's allergic or not to... :( We have to give him Benadryl about once every two weeks. But the rashes clear right up if we give him Benadryl. Thank goodness for benadryl....
11. He likes to dance to music, but he's also started to sing on his own. He usually just screams one or two tones, but it's really fun to watch.
12. He Loves eating fruits and vegitables. In fact, he likes ANY type of food. He's completely weaned himself off breastmilk.
13. He likes to crawl around, even in car rides. Makes mommy and daddy really nervous about after we go back go America. Boy, will he hate being in carseats and high chairs!
14. He likes to climb on things very much. He'll climb on anything he can. Chairs, mom and dad, tables, pillows, boxes, etc.
Well, this is all I can remember now.... If I remember more, i'll post more later. Feel free to add any, Joe.

Man, he's growing so fast! I can't believe he weaned himself, that is so awesome. I am still having trouble with Sophie, she is such a fickle eater and is always lifting my shirt to try and nurse.
