Is there nothing he can't reach?!?

Mars is determined to get into anything and everything lately! His balance is improving and he can stand on his own pretty well. This allows him to use both hands simultaneously to cause trouble.

Still Here

I don't know why things feel so busy right now. I guess there is a bit of an adjustment period with going back to school. It was so nice being home over break and not having to travel (or do anything, really).

Mars is keeping us quite busy. He crawls so fast now and is into EVERYTHING. He's cruising, too, but still pretty slowly - and he can stand there for a few seconds without holding on to anything before he falls down. He's getting better at falling, but he still gets hurt like 100 times a day. Luckily, he usually recovers fairly quickly.

He still loves his bath, but even more, he loves his shower. He gets to go in the shower with Jeff most week days, and Mars has a BLAST in there!

He's babbling like crazy, now, and even throwing in some actual words. Ma Ma and Da Da are his constant refrain, but doggie, kitty, moo, poo poo, Jada, and ball can also be heard from time to time. He also waves "Bye Bye" now, but not until the person leaving is entirely out of sight:)

Like Father, Like Son
