Standing in his crib

Alistair woke up from his nap yesterday afternoon and I went in to get him and he was standing there smiling at me, looking very proud of himself. My mom kept saying that one day I was going to walk in and find him standing there smiling at me and what do you know! (: In addition to him discovering the multi-purposes of his crib, he may have said his first word tonight. Seth had been out of town for a night and Alistair hadn't seen him since Monday night. So tonight Seth got home and we were playing in the living room (Alistair's new favorite play area) and he kept saying "Da Da" and looking toward Seth when he said it. He "talks" quite a bit and it is usually fairly incoherent, but he was saying those syllables together and looking at or gesturing toward Seth. We will take it. Figures...the person who spends ALL DAY with him doesn't get top billing! ;)
