little teeth

Each time I get my camera out Neal crawls straight for me and wants to touch it so here is finally a picture of his new teeth. And they are sharp little buggers! Yesterday Grace had something Neal wanted and I saw him open his mouth and try to chomp down on her shoulder, luckily she moved just in time. Grace was a biter, if I have another I will be a sad mom.

Things about Neal:

He has been scared of heights since he was tiny. Josh lightly tossed him up last week and sure enough he is still scared to death. I was holding him this morning and I put him on his back so that I could blow raspberries on his tummy and he grabbed onto my hair as tight as he could and wouldnt let go. I wasnt trying to scare him, I just thought he would like it and laugh. Not the case

Neal has learned to dance and his favorite moves are waving his right arm in the air (like he just doesnt care:) to the beat of the music. Yesterday I had pandora playing and I asked him to dance and he bobbed his head for the first time! It was so darn cute!

Going up and down the stairs came almost on the first try for Neal. He is pretty coordinated.

Sleeping has not been one of Neal's strengths but for the first time this week Neal slept for 9 hours straight.

Neal can say Mom and Dad, and thats it.

Loves his monkey and cuddles with it at night and when he is tired.


We love Neal.
