'member this?

Yeah, he's this now

 Hard to believe that was nine months ago. I know it's like a broken record, kind of an unwritten law-ish, but does time really need to be all rushy rushy and fly by?

Here's a quick run down of what's happenin'.

Fact: waving is the coolest thing. ever. but it has to be a proper, Royal style. He.Loves.It.
Fact: He's the happiest baby. We always get comments on how good natured he is. True story.
Fact: (is this gonna get old?) He's learned to pull himself up from a belly crawl. Not only to his knees, but then proceeds to stand if what he's grasping onto is sturdy enough to hold his weight...we'll get to that in a minute. Still not crawling on all fours and not sure he ever will.

Fact: He's slightly dramatic. Sometimes, if Roman looks at him a certain way or messes with him just a little he get's all whiny and 'don't do that to me' ish. Funny and ridiculous.
Fact: He loves the bath and electrical outlets and light switches.
Fact: Makes the kissing sound 'mmmmaaahhh' and kisses. They are delicious kisses, I might add. Also makes the 'nah nah nah', 'da da da', 'ma ma' (I'm gonna go ahead a say he's saying mama....).  He can sign 'nurse/milk' and gets a huge grin on his face when I ask him if he'd like to. It's awesome he knows what it means.

 Fact: Is squishy
Fiction: sleeps all night long
Fact: still nursing mostly, but doing at least one to two baby food meals a day. He's also enjoyed pinto beans, coucous, banana, & graham crackers. I'm using a combo of baby led weaning and purees. It's going great! And if you were wondering, we haven't seen any signs of serious food allergies with Viggo yet, although we've avoided eggs and dairy and obviously peanut anything. And I've been avoiding those in my diet as well.
Fact: Viggo weighs 26 pounds and I can squeeze him into 12 month, but mostly he prefers 18 month clothing. :) I'm glad nice weather has arrived so we can just be simple and just wear a onesie.
Fact: is the spitting image of his mama as a baby.
Fact: loves music

He is such a delight. I cannot imagine our lives without this sweet little boy. Oh how I love him! Here's a little video for your viewing pleasure. Take note, the wave at the end is not his more common Royal wave. That was his wave before he discovered how awesome it was to delicately twist his wrist back and forth.
