Almost crawling.

Almost. he's at the ... get up on my hands and knees and rock back and forth then flop on my belly stage.

Of course, my kids don't do anything normally, and he has to add his own twist. Which is, he gets on his knees then puts his head on the floor for support and scoots across the floor with his forehead on the floor.

Let's see, what else- he is sitting up on his own- he will lay on his back, lean up and to one side, then stick an arm out and sort of push himself up. He has also figured out how not to fall on his face when he is sitting and wants to be on his belly. Previously, he would stick one leg out, with one bent in front of him and lean forward until- smack- on his face on the floor. Now he sort of leans up and pulls his foot from under him and lands on his belly. This is a huge improvement and happened literally overnight several days ago.

He also calls everything "dada". He will say "mama" when he is in his crib and is really mad but that's the only time so far. The other night, we got into bed and Doug was already asleep and I swear he said "HEY DADA!" and started saying "dadadadada" and smacking Doug in his back. He hasn't really picked up any signs yet. He will sometimes do dog, and sometimes milk, but nothing consistently.
Oh, he was watching a Baby Einstein the other night and the screen came up and said "dog" and he said "duh". and started laughing and jumping all over. This boy loves dogs. And balls. When he sees a ball, he gets so excited! In fact, right now Natalya and he are playing with a ball and he is bouncing all over the place. :)
