His memory is also getting good lately. He has found a pile of post-it notes on our desk that he loves to eat (near the floor where he can climb onto the desk and eat them all) so I started hiding the post-it notes underneath a calendar where they didn't show at all. But the very next time he was near the desk he crawled right over there, pushed the calendar aside, and went wild. I tried to distract him with the hole puncher, but that just made a mess and then he went right back to the post-its. He also has learned to stand up using furniture. Yesterday when I walked into his room to get him out of bed I found this.
He was just standing there so proud of himself. And make sure you notice those cute little teeth that have popped up. Now his last development I'm a little embarrassed to share, he was rather slow in this area. For some reason he was never able to suck on a pacifier. When we were cutting back on his night time feedings and he would wake up and need something to suck on we would just hold the pacifier in his mouth until he fell back asleep. Then eventually he was able to hold it in his hand and he was very content to just play with it or suck on the side of the pacifier. Occasionally he would put it in his mouth the right way by accident but within about 2 seconds it would fly right out of there. But then overnight things just clicked and he figured out how to properly suck on a pacifier. And now he just loves that thing. He absolutely must have it in order to go to sleep and whenever he sees it he crawls for it. But since he lived 7 months without it we do not allow him to use it unless he is going to sleep.A few random pictures.

He is adorable! It is like a whole new world opens up when they start crawling. So much fun, but also frustrating at times as well. Oh yes, and I love his crib.
Conner is awesome. I can't wait to see him again. It looks like he's a very smart little boy, isn't it amazing what they can figure out being so little.
