… And we have photographic evidence! I’m not sure if you can tell in the photo, but there really is a gap between the dishwasher and David. He only has enough balance to stand for a few seconds, but he’s really working on it!
David is still growing really fast. According to Chris, he actually stood unassisted! I haven’t seen it, but I hope to soon. In the meantime, here are a few of David’s recent activities.

David has begun eating solid foods in earnest. We’re trying baby-lead weaning, which can be summarized as “let David put whatever he wants into his mouth.” Needless to say, David has readily adopted this philosophy.
He’s also grown quite a bit in the past month. Unofficially, we’ve weight David at 21.5 lbs! Here’s our little Buddha showing off his well-marbled physique:
And last, but not least, David’s adventurous spirit is really blossoming. A week ago, he mastered the “roll-over-and-sit-up” technique. A few days ago, he began pulling himself up on furniture, holding on with only a single hand. Then tonight, he discovered the stairs … and proceeded to climb all the way to the top landing! Definitely absorbed some of that Kiwi spirit from New Zealand!
Needless to say, the baby gates are going in tomorrow.
