Today was a very good day with baby. He was in good spirits and was very cooperative.

* Tristan has learned how to clap. He’s just short of being able to do it on command, but he thinks to do it when rock music is on.

* He splashes on command! We had a lot of fun at the pool today; he is quite the power splasher. It was that sort of day that was so hot that it was difficult to even be outside without swimming. Then we took our usual after-swim shower, which is always much fun.

* He didn’t practice his unsupported walking a whole lot today. Maybe a step here and there. He didn’t even want to work on walking with me when we went outside late in the afternoon. That being said, he is getting way bolder while holding only one hand and he is learning to pull things rather than just push them while standing/walking.

* It really does seem like he understands a lot more of what I’m saying in general.
