This month Truman went from being an observer of this world to an interactor with it. Grabbing, discovering and shoving anything he can reach in his mouth. It began with the quiet discovery that he could remove his pacifier. Then he began trying to replace it. Now he watches intently when others place things in their mouths, in preparation for mastery of this hand-to-mouth thing he has going.
Today he weighs 16 pounds and 5 ounces and is 27 inches tall with a 42 cm. His height is literally off the growth chart lines, which means he's taller than more than 95% of babies his age. Don't ask me where he gets his height from; it probably isn't me.
This kid is curious, and he's made it clear that he's ready to explore taking scoots closer to full-blown mobility. He easily turns himself in circles and has started scooting backward. He seems to get all the pieces of moving forward — lifting his chest and belly off the ground, bunching up his knees and pushing them out, and even moving his arms — but can't perform them in concert.
So baby-proofing will begin.
Watch out world, here comes Truman.
