standing man

It seemed that the crawling phase happened over night, and we are getting the feeling that walking is not far away...

Note that the curtains are tied up in knots... not because it's trendy, but because Gogo is pretty sure that he needs to try to pull them down on his head.  Gordy has been getting particularly bold about pulling himself up on EVERYTHING and he'll even take steps if we'll hold him up by his hands!

Now that he's mobile, it's gotten quite hard to wrangle him into eating much solid food unless we are holding him and feeding him each bite.  So, we found a high chair that has become one of our new favorite things!  Gordy gets super excited when we put him in it (he makes lots of yummy noises - see the video below), we both have free hands, and we have it positioned so he can eat while watching the traffic on Waialua Beach Road.

Finally, waterpolo season has begun and even though Gordy isn't that stoked on the bulldogs holding him (sorry Lorena!), he's enjoying his role as the team mascott - especially since we've been letting him get in the pool after each game :)

A much needed nap after a day at the pool:
