Update for Darek

-Still no teeth, but chews on EVERYTHING!
-Has a cold with a terrible runny nose. Poor little guy has skin rubbed off around his nose. It's getting better now.
-Moving everywhere, but still not quite crawling. He keeps going backward and just can't figure out how to get himself to move forward. He can get up on his knees and stay there for a while, but as soon as he moves, he's back down on his belly.
-Smiling and giggling every day! He can entertain himself for a while, but definitely prefers the attention of everyone in the room. And he will let you know if you aren't giving him enough attention :)
-He loves doing his side-to-side dance and sing at the same time. Not sure where he picked it up, but it's the cutest/sweetest thing to watch!
-Loves to shake his head no-no-no-no-no. He thinks it's hilarious when you mimic him and will continue doing it until you stop.
-Started clapping with his feet, but just this past week learned to clap with his hands. One of my new favorite things to watch him do.
-Along with clapping, if you put your hand out in front of him, expect you will be given "five".
-Still HATES anything with texture. Everyday we struggle with getting baby food down him without him gagging and throwing it up. We'll see how he progresses. He's doing better than he was, but has a long way to go.

That's about it for updates. But I'm sure he'll be doing something new tomorrow. :)
