...stuck on his Mama; seperation anxiety is not fun to deal with, even though it's nice to feel wanted. Big Boys don't cling, Mason!
...getting more teeth. He has 6 teeth now. His teething eruption pattern is a little odd: bottom 2 central incisors, top 2 lateral incisors, and now the top 2 central incisors. We're still nursing, but it's just about time to wean. Teeth are scary...
...moving constantly. Whether he's crawling, cruising, bouncing, scooting, or swinging; he's happiest on the go. When he's cruising he likes to find gaping areas where he can either turn to lean onto another surface or where he can pounce to another object. He still has poor balance (well, in my book) but he sure does like to let go and see if he can stand. There's little fear in this child!
...slick and is into everything. Here I caught him climbing the walker, and he really looked at me like, "Oh man I just got busted." He's also tried to eat houseplants; explores partially opened cabinets; will pull up on anything including table skirts and curtains; unpacks my kitchen island; and is on a mission to find every loose cord possible so he can pull appliances/lamps/electronics down. 
...feeding himself with teething biscuits. He also likes the yogurt bites and he pincer grasps them but isn't yet coordinated enough to always get them in his mouth (hit or miss). We've been able to stick with organic-only foods so far although when we progress to table food, that may be a different story.
...teething on utensils rather than using them for feeding.
It's the 4-month countdown until his first birthday!

Just a few more months... and he will be tearing everything in the house to pieces! I LOVE his little monogrammed Jon-Jon he has on too...
The separation anxiety must be a boy thing??? Can't believe he is almost a year old!!
