After months of waiting, August finally cut his first tooth this month on his Aunt Cara's birthday--December 3rd. Actually, he cut two, both of the front bottom. He has the cutest little toothy smile either of us has ever seen. August's new teeth means that he's able to explore new foods, too. He loves to munch on cucumbers and raisins, the former usually covered in hummus.
August is getting increasingly adept at his unique crawl, but he's also started cruising a lot more. His Nana came to visit us this month, and he loved showing off for her. He makes lap after lap around our living room coffee table, and cruises along every wall in the house. Walking on his own is surely just around the corner.
Edit: Walking isn't just around the corner anymore! August took his first solo steps today. He took two wobbly steps in the kitchen. Way to go, buddy!
We're also excited to see how social August is becoming. He loves to wave at strangers in the grocery store, at shopping malls, the aisles at Target...pretty much anywhere. Naturally people love to wave back to him. It helps that he's the cutest baby ever--no bias of course. He's also getting much braver with other new experiences, like playing on the swings.
We've spent the last month getting August ready for his first Christmas, though it obviously means more to us this year than it does to him. Still, I think he senses the excitement and spirit of the Christmas season.
