Catcheroo is so smart!

Gammie Brenda calls Catch, "Catch the Menace." I have to say that it fits him perfectly! He's already trying to crawl out of his crib and use the bumpers to boost himself up. We ended up taking the bumpers out and moving his music toy over by the wall so he can't use it to climb out. He's also figured out how to crawl up the small stairs in our living room to wander into the dining room and kitchen. He's such a curious little thing. We've been trying to get him to clap for the past couple of months and now he can't seem to stop. Anytime he sees someone clapping, he claps with them, whether it is a real person or on tv. He even claps when you say the word clap. Maybe that's normal, but I just think he's exceptionally smart. :0) We've been trying to get him to wave and he's starting to get the hang of it. He'll raise his arms and move his fingers as if he's trying to wave. It won't be long! Now, I'm even teaching him how to blow kisses. Right now, he just smiles and thinks I'm being silly.

Catch's great aunt and uncle bought him a little toy that he can ride and adjust to hold onto while standing. He sits on it and pushes himself backwards. It's funny that he doesn't go forward on it. I adjusted it so he could practice his walking. I held onto it so he couldn't go too fast. I was amazed at how balanced he was with a little help. Chris and I are just in awe of how fast he is growing.

Before we know it, he'll be walking and talking. And hopefully saying Mama! :0)
