He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll fit in well with the rest of our family.&#160; He must have picked it up from our families, cause Yvonne and I certainly aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t loud.<\/p>\n<p>Caleb has been talking bunches.&#160; Well he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s always made lots of talking sounds, most of which we can not understand.&#160; But he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s developed a new favorite word\/sound.&#160; And it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not \u00e2\u20ac\u0153ma ma\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153da da\u00e2\u20ac\u009d which he likes saying both.&#160; It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a sound that sounds like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153uuh!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or something like that.&#160; I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the best way to spell, so maybe you can tell me.&#160; This sound can mostly be interpreted as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153give me\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I want that\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or it could even mean \u00e2\u20ac\u0153get me out of here\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153help me.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d&#160;

And when he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s stopped crawling, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pretty much stop climbing.&#160; He even doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like to climb up and down stairs anymore.&#160; He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll eventually do so, just cause he wants to get somewhere.&#160; But lots of time if mommy or daddy are around, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll grunt his \u00e2\u20ac\u0153uuh\u00e2\u20ac\u009d sound and ask to be picked up.&#160; It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very cute, but if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to be mobile, be mobile up and down the stairs as well.&#160; 2 stairs ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t going to hurt you, son.&#160; Of course if you have something he really wants, there is no stopping him.&#160; Neither heights, nor depths can stop him from getting what he wants.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/baby.chriswong.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/img-2112.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_2112\" style=\"border-top-width: 0px;

He especially likes his new ones.&#160; Take them away when he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not finished with them yet, and he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll give you that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153uuh\u00e2\u20ac\u009d sound.&#160; For his birthday we had bought him a toy lawn mower that blows bubbles.&#160; He likes bubbles.&#160; He likes to walk.&#160; He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to love this toy!&#160; Well he did love it.&#160; Problem is is that it didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t blow bubbles.&#160; If adults couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get this toy to blow bubbles, how does anyone expect a baby to make it blow bubbles?&#160; So we decided to return it and get another lawn mower.&#160; This pops balls.&#160; Again he loves it.&#160; All he needs is something to walk with.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/baby.chriswong.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/img-2139.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_2139\" style=\"border-top-width: 0px;
