Diego's new tricks.

While Diego still cannot manage to crawl in the forward direction, he has managed to pick up a few more tricks. Last weekend he taught himself to sit up on his own (video below). From there he decided that if we gave him something to hold on to he would much rather stand up, so he can now also push himself up to standing (video below). Needless to say, his crib is going to be lowered in order to avoid any early morning falls. He also likes to give "high 5's" (video below)and is always proud of himself when he pushes himself up to sitting or standing. His ear to ear grin is just too precious; however, D has taken to smiling without his "teeth", most likely due to teething pain, and while his grin is cute, I miss the toothless smile!

We also took Diego to the zoo for the first time this past weekend (see camo pics below) on the streetcar. Diego didn't care for the zoo as much as he does the aquarium, probably because the animals are so sedentary, but I'm sure that will change with time.






















P.S. I apologize for the darkness of the last 2 videos and will attempt to capture these things in a more well lit room!
These are better:
