Colin has been improving his crawling skills and has ventured a bit into the standing arena. It's a bit like the cartoons that don't know they ran off the cliff and should be falling, until they look down. He'll accidentally let go or need to grab a toy with two hands and stand for a couple seconds. When he notices he's standing...down he goes. He's learning the rules of the road and some laws of physics as he's received a couple bumps and bruises in his travels.
He's more into toys, or rather hair, buttons, boxes, furniture, sticks, empty mayonnaise container, book corners, tethers holding toys and some random things on the ground. Everything goes into his mouth. "Yucky" is now a contender for first word. He's also recognizing a lot of what we say. He'll recognize names of toys and things. He'll also mimic some actions. Shaking the head is a fun game and the hand sign for 'more' are the most commonly mimicked. New things pop up almost daily.
Here is the April album:
