Catch Up - Milestone Edition

Obviously, Diego has been making progress in the interim between these posts. For example, he drinks water and eats food now. His very favorite food is mango.

 We took a lot of pictures of him eating avocado because that was his first normal food.

 Still cute, even if you've seen it before.

 But he does eat other things. This is banana.

(These weren't taken at Christmas. We just haven't retired the bib.)

And he has teeth! Only the two bottom ones thus far.

You can see them!

He sits up by himself. He's even rather mobile, despite the fact that he doesn't crawl. He somehow manages to spin/roll toward whatever toy it is he wants. I definitely need to get on the baby-proofing.

 I left him sitting.

And, as babies do, everything goes in his mouth.

He's learned quite a few games. We love the one where we pat his mouth while he's making sounds. He loves it! And we've recently changed it up a bit so we use his hand to pat, say, Rudy's mouth and Diego will say "ahhhhhh!" while he does it. Adorable! (I finally got video of it, but blogger refuses to upload it. Sorry!)

Also, as I said in a previous post, he sings into his microphone. It totally caught me off guard when I first heard it. I was across the room! We'd shown it to him, but he hadn't seem too interested. We were totally wrong.

February

February was a busy month! First, Hattie (and her parents) came for a visit. We went to the aquarium, a Japanese garden, and Olivera Street. It was awesome. We are big Hattie fans. BFFLs, guys!

Then we went to San Diego to see Lucia (and her mom). We toured an organic farm, too. More awesome.

Trying some lettuce. Diego is skeptical. (Don't worry. He didn't try it. He has only two teeth, people.)

I love how proud she was of her picking skills!

Diego was not quite as skilled at picking beets.

Cauliflower!

They have chickens! I so want a chicken. Or three.

We learned a lot!

Then cousins Joshua and Evan came for a visit (with their parents)! We went back to the aquarium (we're members, so you know we love that place) and on a harbor tour. Never-ending awesome.

Three little boys in awe.

On the Harbor Tour. (Don't ask me about the face Diego is making here. I have no idea.)
