growing!

He has definitely been showing us his budding personality lately.  He vocalizes his likes and dislikes much more often and he has become very social.  We no longer put him in his swing while we eat peacefully.  Instead we either hold him or put him in his carseat on top of a chair for as long as he'll tolerate not being the center of attention!  Doesn't usually last the whole meal but if we eat fast enough...

He is so funny though.  When he is sad and cries because he wants us to hold him he will start smiling and laughing when he can tell we're about to pick him up.  I'd say there's definitely some mommy/daddy manipulation going on there but we are letting it slide, for now ; )

He is also getting noticeably bigger, to us at least.  Maybe it's because he likes standing/sitting pretty much all the time now, or I noticed he has filled out a little more lately, or he is acting so social, but he seems to be growing more
