Justin talking

yes, talking. at least it is to us. 1 week ago today i was in the grocery as he started spouting "da-da-da-da." i wasn't sure if this was his official first word until he continued the rest of the day. if i were to tell anyone he was saying "da-da-da," he would start saying it also. so, i have decided, he has officially started talking. (sometimes it sounds like "daddy" and sometimes "hi daddy," but mostly just "da-da)." he has been sitting up unassisted for a few weeks. he got his first 2 teeth at the end of june (beating his older brother by nearly 3 months). however, he still has 0 interest in tummy-time or rolling. he has rolled back to belly 2x...once about 4 months ago and once a few weeks ago. thats it. daddy says its his fat cheekies that keep him from being able to roll. if he wants to get anywhere, he just scoots backwards by pushing w/his legs. he has done this for a couple of months, and generally runs head first into something, like the stone fireplace or a wall. prior to this type of movement, he would just scoot himself into a 360 degree circle by flopping his legs and back. he looked a lot like a fish out of water, which went right along with his habit of grabbing my face and pulling to his own and sucking on my chin. it reminded me of a sucker fish.

Sigh. All my efforts to get him to say "Mamaw" first...all for naught. But seriously, how fast they grow up! Talking already...
