__________Pelto Pod__________: September '12- Link Goes Mobile!

7 Months Old!

This is the month that we start blogging a bit differently... I will do my best to blog as we go! Hopefully, this means I'll get to explain more and tell stories for us to look back on and share with loves ones!

So let us begin on the 1st! We had a lovely day spending some quality family time. We took a stroll down to Tipsy Teapot for breakfast and iced tea, cleaned the entire apartment, caught up on some blogging, had a picnic at the park where Link LOVED to swing and pop bubbles and ended it with a nice night at home with a movie!

3rd- Links 3rd tooth is makings break for it on the 3rd! He now has 3 front bottom teeth. How silly!

5th- Link can now go from laying down to sitting with no help AND a diaper on! These Bum Geniuses seem to get in his way a bit but he's mastered it! ^_^

11th- OODLES OF NOODLES! Babycenter sent me an email saying that babies love cooked noodles... they were right!

17th- Link is crawling all around!!! About a 4-5 days ago he took about 3 steps (crawling) and then sat up. I cheered him on and on... and on for days but he wouldn't do it again! He would take a step then sit up, repeat until he got where he wanted. And then one morning we were sitting in the living room playing and something caught his eye across the room... so crawled right to it! Now he's a crawling machine!

He also has started to pull himself up to a stand position. Anything he can reach up to is fair game, even the most unsteady furniture! We are mobile!

He also now says, "Dad dah da da da" all the time! Jorma just loves it and gets the cutest proudest Daddy smiles I've ever seen!

Then later in the evening during Link's "Daddy Bath Time," I came in to see him play. He saw me and started trying to climb out to get to me but the good Daddy that Jorma is, he kept him safe and in the tub. Well, Link was not happy about this so started whining and babbling angrily and throws his hands down to splash the water and says, "MAM MAA!" We both stopped in our tracks and looked at each other like WHAAA!? Could that have just happened!? Well it did! Whether or not Link knows he was calling me while he wanted me is irrelevant because it melted my heart either way! Now he's back to saying, "DAD DA DA DAD DAH."

23rd- Gabby Girls Birthday Party was a smash! All Basil themed (Gabriella Basil) and adorable! Link was able to interact with the kids by crawling and watching and added 3 bumps to his poor little head!
