Let's have a big AW thread!

[carawestt]

I want to know what all the babes are up to lately!

Lincoln started waving yesterday afternoon and it's the cutest thing ever. He's even started to do it on his own, without us saying "hi" or waving to him first. I love it!

[kdrake8]

Mila likes to wave at people, ceiling fans, stuffed animals, etc.

She loves to give kisses (this is probably my absolute favorite).

And now she's crawling too

[cat19]

Lily has stood unsupported several times today!

[kdrake8]

Lincoln is soon stinkin cute!!! Love his little hand waving!

[fusion]

Anna is waving, clapping, pointing, and bouncing on command She's also crawling and pulling up on junk now and calls for me, H, and for boobies.

[carawestt]

Kdrake - Go Mila!!! She'll be everywhere in no time. Lincoln is a kisser too, it's also my favorite
Cat - That's so great, Lily! Lincoln stood by himself yesterday too.
Fusion - I've been trying to teach Lincoln to clap! What does Anna say for boobies? My mom says I always said "nini" as a baby when I wanted to nurse.

As my FB friends saw, Andrew is a waving fool. He waves at everything now. He has also started giving kisses. If I pucker up big, he comes in for a little sloppy kiss. And he kisses his reflection, lol.
He is also thisclose to standing on his own and can really cruise (walking) when we are holding his hands.

Yes! That video was adorable. Does he have a walker yet? Lincoln walks all around the house pushing his.

He has a motorcycle that doubles as a walker. He likes sitting on the motorcycle and walking while straddling it. When we convert it to the walker, he stands still while it rolls away, lol

Haha yeah, that's how Lincoln started with his too. Then he would look at me like "what just happened?"

[lauranicole91]

Since it appears to be baby waving picture day:

She finally figured out waving.
Also clapping was a very recent discovery. I looove the baby claps.
She's been walking for a few weeks, but about a week ago she figured out changing direction while walking and turning around.
Oh I already bragged earlier, but Pey is going to bed later now and sleeping in! I love it!

[Deleted]

He claps at everything. Especially mom and dad when we finally give in and get him in the MOTN.
He will bring me books he wants me to read.
He waves, but strangely only when HE is leaving the house.
He "walks" with his push walker and thinks he is seriously hot shit. Unfortunately, he cannot change direction and just keeps pushing the damn thing into the wall until he falls over.

[carawestt]

Laura - It seems Lincoln is taking the same approach to clapping as Pey did, he just slaps the table, his tray, my leg, etc. when he gets excited. And I'm still in shock that she's walking!

Thad - That's cute about the books! Lincoln brings me stuff too, yesterday a cup fell on the ground and he brought it to me. He did the same thing with his bin a few minutes ago. And he also runs his walks into the wall. Over and over again.

The clapping seriously happened overnight. Haha. One day she was table slapping and then boom last Saturday she threw a toy then smiles and clapped all proud. Haha.

[skiesthelimit]

X has started standing unsupported for like 5 seconds at a time!! He can also clap on command, high five and started to wave Bye. Im a proud momma!

[bean47]

I love reading about all the accomplishments of our babies!

Olivia loves to wave and just started clapping today. She says "hi" when she waves sometimes, I love it. She's started to stand with support and get on her hands and knees on occasion. She's imitating lots of sounds too which I love.

I tell her "boobies go night night" and she lunges at the boobs and says "baba"

[carawestt]

Skies - That's awesome!
Bean - Me too! I figured it'd be easier just to have one big thread. I'm jealous of these clapping babies.
PC - Go Owen!!!
Fusion - That's really cute

[monkeybabe]

Zoe is standing, unsupported for longer and longer these days. Also, she gives high fives. I've tried to record said high fives, but she's way more interested in trying to steal the camera.

Go Zoe! Lincoln gives high fives sometimes too, it's cute!

[nannerl]

Yay for all the baby accomplishments!

Alex is waving too, and makes sounds that sound like "hi" and "hey" when he sees us. He has started walking while pushing around a laundry basket and will follow me around the house. If either DH or I am gone for a while when we get back he will crawl right to us and pull up and hug our legs :heart:

[bebeetmoi]

DD is a big on waving, clapping, pointing, and is baby talking up a storm. Lots of dada, mama, yay, baba, and ummmm-ohhh which I swear is her version of uh-oh because she only says it when she knocks into/drops/throws something. It's hysterical.
She is standing unsupported really well and is now bouncing a bit while she stands on her own. She's walking with her walker all over the damn place and just like Thad and Lincoln will run it into the wall and try her hardest to turn it around. I spend my days redirecting her walkers, basically.

[mrsjaymay]

We are starting to wave here, too! I love it!

Edie says 'hi probies!'

She's doing so good! That's so cute about the "uh oh" I can't wait for Lincoln to start talking, he still uses raspberries as his main form of communication.

So does Alex! I love it... he'll be just hanging out playing and all of a sudden "thhhbbbbpppt!" and then fits of laughter

[laurack]

Matilda is walking a bit! I have a video on Facebook but I can't figure out how to get it here from there

She also claps now and sometimes does peek a boo, kind of. However her only noise is still dada no mama yet.

That's funny!

[vthokie]

A is pretty darn close to standing. She probably could, but she prefers to hole onto me, or let me push her back into standing when she leans forward...she thinks that is hilarious. She was waiving a lot, but now that's not so cool. She's started clapping, but for weird things...like when she's finished eating, she claps. She will give high fives, and DH taught her to fist bump. He's so proud of that one. She also still does answers "What does the fishy say?" with pucker noises. Totally my favorite thing ever!

Oh, go Matilda! You can make it public on your FB and then copy and paste the link here.
