Developments

Just a quick update on what's going on here. First off, it is COLD! The highs for the next few days are about freezing and the lows are in the teens. I know that isn't cold if you live in Alaska, but we don't so it's cold. I'm SO happy we got our new windows put in this summer. It was cold and really blowing the other night and you couldn't even tell when inside. YEAH!

Now for laddy stuff - Langston is pretty much crawling. He will still scoot around on his belly, but he is up on all fours now too. He hasn't realized how much faster he can go on all fours, but that will come. He has also started to pull himself up on things (check out the video). That is very exciting and he is very proud and the head bonks have already started. He is also still not much into solid food. If I remember right, Kahlil was excited about eating solid food by this point... but then Kahlil also had teeth by now too. Maybe the interest in food and teeth come at the same time.

As for kiddo - Kahlil has given us a timeline for how you age: baby, big boy, teenager, and then adult. It's simplistic, but I can't really fault it. I've started a list of the songs he likes to sing. If you don't know him you may not realize what he is singing since he doesn't know many words, but in general I think he does a pretty good job. I know I've missed some, but this is what I have so far: Hide Your Love Away (Beatles), My Sharona (The Knacks), Route 66 (we have the Depeche Mode version), Low Rider (War), Rock the Boat (The Hues Corporation), I Wanta Be Like You & Bear Necessities (songs from The Jungle Book movie), One Way or Another (Blondie), Spider-Man (from the cartoon), The Wallace and Grommet theme music, Mahna Mahna (a Sesame Street song), Rocket Man (Elton John). He had Keita at Soft Star laughing today when Low Rider came on the radio and Kahlil started singing... Low-ri-da goes a little slowa da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
