- Dallin finally got some teeth at 9 months old! The first one came around May 12. We were in Boise with my parents and sisters because we went to WICKED (which is amazing by the way....that was my second time seeing it). The following week, Four more came in. That was not a fun week or any of us. Some time in June, his 6th tooth came, so now he has two on the bottom and four on top. It looks like he has all his teeth since it's the four front teeth on top. Man are they sharp! He has bit my fingers a couple of times and it makes me extremely grateful that I'm not nursing anymore.
- He is a professional stair climber. He goes up and down the stairs about 10 times a day. I'm not exaggerating. I'm glad that he knows how to turn around and go down backward so I don't have to worry about him falling. Well, he could still fall, but you know what I mean. He used to fall every once in a while but it was always just down the two at the bottom.
- He just learned how to wave like two weeks ago. Its cute because he moves his thumb too instead of just his other four fingers. It looks like he's doing the sign for money. You know, like when someone rubs their thumb and fingers together? Anyways, its pretty funny. He also usually waves toward himself instead of toward whoever is waving at him.
- About the same time he learned how to wave, Dallin started clapping. It usually comes right after the wave. I think it is because I would get excited and say "Yay" and clap when he first started waving, so now he claps after he waves.
- Dallin eats people food now. By that I mean not pureed food. I still feed him baby food meat because we were given over 50 cans of meat from someone who was on WIC and their baby wouldn't eat the meat. Plus, I don't think he's ready for real meat - I haven't tried to feed him any though.
- Last week when we were in Idaho, Dallin stood on his own for about 10 seconds. He had never stood on his own for more than 2 seconds before that, so it was a big accomplishment. He hasn't really done anything like that since then, but its a step toward walking. He loves holding my hands and walking around. When he does, he laughs the whole time like a crazy person and tries to go as fast as possible.
- He and Kenobi are best buds. Kenobi is our dog that we got in February. We decided to get a dog after visiting my family in Idaho. My sister has a Yorkie and Dallin was just sitting there laughing hysterically watching the dog chase a ball. He does the same with Kenobi and they are already creating mischief together.

This was in April while watching General Conference.
Elder Nelson was talking about a picture of his grandson looking
up at the TV during one of his talks and Dallin did the same thing.
We thought it was pretty cute. :)
