291 days old

I just got curious today and thought I'd do some simple math.  Or... google a website that could do this simple math for me.

It's official.... Obi has been out of the womb longer than he was in it.  So that pretty much means he's a big kid now.  291 days since this kid has been out in the real world!!

But really, he's eating pretty much anything now and sleeping like a champ (most of the time).  Half the time he cries when he wakes up and half the time he bangs his pacifier on his crib or tosses it out and I can hear it hit the hardwood floor.
He finally has two tiny bottom teeth that make his smile more mature.
He's crawling faster everyday and finding new things to pull himself up on everyday as well.
He loves his mom and sometimes gets nervous when she's not around.
He likes things that are attached to strings (sweatshirt/coat strings, pacifier clip, a drum toy that we have).
He also likes things that are like sticks that he can hold and swing around like  my his soup ladle and whisk.  We had a paint-stir stick out and (of course) he managed to find it and then crawled around poking and prodding his toys and furniture.
He claps puzzle pieces together like cymbals and enjoys making any noise.
He crawls around my feet in the kitchen everyday and is thrilled with each new tupperware or utensil (or occasional food scrap) that I'll toss down to him. I love it when he crawls while grasping a toy in his hand.
He's so funny to watch explore and learn through playing.
"Baby Signing Time" is his favorite show but we're still working on those concepts to click.  He knows how to sign "milk," "more," and "all done."  He just doesn't know when to do them and which one gets him which thing.
He claps, all the time.
He is a master beat boxer and can make so many noises with his lips and mouth.  He can imitate a ton! He's pretty good as his "da-da-das" and his "bowbowbow" (rhymes with wow) and can make an "mmmmm" sound but not quite "ma" yet!
He turning into quite a flirt when he turns his head sideways and gives a sly smile.  He can only turn his head to the right, though.

Oh Obster.... You are truly a joy!!
