Milestones:

• Sitting up! On November 30th at the hunting club.  6 weeks and 2 days old.
• More bouncing
• Your first tooth! I still can't get a picture of it, you will not let me look at it for too long, but it's definitely there. And I'd say it's about 1/3 of the way through the gum. If you ever did have a fever with it, it was very mild. You were fussier than usual for a week or so, but that's about all the major symptoms you showed. It popped up sometime over the weekend of December 12-15 while Chris and I were in NYC. 
• We are practicing clapping, and being gentle with Bella
• You will mimic the sounds we make and we've heard mama, dada, gaga, hey (all obviously unintentional)
• I think you are so close to crawling! A few times I've seen you pull yourself/army crawl across the blanket on the floor. 
• Everything is in your mouth. Everything. 
• Sitting in highchairs
• Sitting in the buggies at the grocery store
• You have started to become a little clingy…I'm not sure if it's because you've been teething and not feeing great, or if this is the next stage for you but you've never been a cuddle bug before now so I can't say I hate it.
