I thought that was so cool :) He's 4 months old so literally everything he does is like OMG WOW THAT IS SO NEAT! :p</p> <p>Also, when DH left the bedroom last night after putting him down, his eyes were closed but he was still moving around -- trying to suck his thumb, hugging the blanket, rubbing it on his face -- and usually if we leave him like that, he'll start crying for us within 5 or 10 minutes and we'll have to go back in there and rock him to sleep. But he never did cry and 30 minutes later I checked on him and he was sound asleep. So he basically put himself to sleep! Which... you have no idea. That is such a huge deal for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825915 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 23:40:29 +0000 MusicaV 825915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's taking tiny cruising steps! He refuses to crawl but loves to stand holding onto the couch and shifting his weight from foot to foot.</p> <p>He's also really fun now. He used to cry more easily and stay upset longer, but he's smiling and laughing a lot more than he used to - at least around us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825908 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 23:33:00 +0000 teamjse 825908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He started waving bye, he can actually respond to my questions with yeah or shake his head for no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825903 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 23:30:04 +0000 sarac 825903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 20 month old just shocked me yesterday. She was sitting in the bath, and said 'bebe very hungry'. Ok, she says that, that's normal. Then she says 'bebe hurt, bebe need eat medicine'. She wanted to eat the liquid tylenol because she was hungry, so she tried to tell me that she was hurt and needed it! I was totally shocked and amused. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825809 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 21:38:19 +0000 Freckles 825809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: What about stan-poh-deuh? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825612 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 19:41:43 +0000 oliviaoblivia 825612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Popping out a tooth at four months was a bit of a surprise. And now learning to bite while nursing.... :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825538 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 18:58:05 +0000 MrsF 825538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually M is pretty stingy with the giggles. She'll laugh sometimes for DH but not often and never for me! Today she belly laughed for 10 minutes when I was playing with her. I was shocked and it definitely made my day! </p> <p>I can't wait for all of the "big kid" things that you ladies are describing. So fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825429 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 17:11:34 +0000 Mrs. Twine 825429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope, @Mrs. Pen; isn't that the best? Lorelei was nursing the other night and started petting my eyebrow and saying "eye-bough" over and over in this sweet little lovey voice. First time she had ever said that! And we were looking at baby robins today and she kept saying "beak, beak" and trying to grab its beak. It is too cool to watch the words get added. Ellie had a horseback lesson today and Lorelei was saying all of the horses names, "Shay, Dance (Dancer), Sadie, Dixie, Roper" after I would say them to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825411 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 16:56:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 825411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I love that! J loves to point to our facial features. He knows what they are when we ask- like if we say where are your teeth he shows his teeth. But he hasn't actually said nose yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825410 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 16:55:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 825410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday my mom came to our house and she was really wet from the rain, when J touched her hair and made it face because it was wet, she said, "it's wet!"</p> <p>5-10 minutes later he touches her head again and says clear as day, "wet!" And said it a few more times haha! </p> <p>He also just learned the word hat and will pay his head and say hat, then go get one of his Or my hat and put it on. It's so funny. I love hearing him learn to say so many new words! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825409 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 16:54:08 +0000 lemondrop 825409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His recall amazes me on a daily basis now at almost 17 months. </p> <p>Today we went out for breakfast and were done, but were talking while finishing our coffee. He reaches out to touch my husband's arm to get his attention and very clearly says, "all done." Usually he just randomly calls it out and will go back to eating.</p> <p>Lately when any sports (basketball, baseball, tennis, hockey... obviously hasn't mastered puck yet) comes on TV, he says ball. He even said it when we went to a baseball game last week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825404 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 16:47:34 +0000 SugarplumsMom 825404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's playful and sometimes makes fart noises with our faces. Today she was sticking out her tongue while trying to lick my face and I was laughing while moving my head left and right to avoid it. she grabbed my face and tried to hold it still! It totally shocked me because she's never done that before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825389 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 16:30:48 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 825389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She can point to all her body parts-- eye, ear, chin, nose, fingers, toes, etc. today she surprised me by saying "nose"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825351 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 15:47:16 +0000 winniebee 825351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He surprised me today by standing for quite awhile on his own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825297 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 14:56:07 +0000 sorrycharlie 825297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jmarionsmith: my LO is 8 months and definitely doesn't (seem to) know what certain objects are by name, so that sounds pretty smart of your LO!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825237 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:56:33 +0000 skibobrown 825237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep looking away for a few seconds and finding DD in places that I didn't know she could get to on her own. -- Sitting proudly in a rocking chair, sitting in the laundry bin having climbed in on her own. DD is a turning into a little monkey! I have to look out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825236 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:55:21 +0000 jmarionsmith 825236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my 9 month old can find his ball and roll it to me while crawling if i ask "where is your ball." that might be pretty standard for a lo that age but i was pretty proud! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825226 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:33:50 +0000 Mrs. Twine 825226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm amazed at the level of understanding and directions-following. I told Lorelei this morning that if she wanted to look at one of Ellie's legos she had to go sit on her butt on the carpet. And she repeated "carpet" several times and sat down expectantly on the carpet (even though the hard floor was right where she had been standing, so she understood where to go as well as that she had to sit). Then this morning she said, "me do" without being prompted when I was trying to feed her yogurt. Ellie has been surprising us with her reading and spelling. She's been reading over my shoulder when I post to Hellobee on occasion if she's up and Lorelei's down for nap, and she gets pretty much all of it. I have to watch carefully now to make sure it's all appropriate stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825224 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:30:04 +0000 betsyboop 825224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: I was shocked! I called DH and told him our DD will be going to hah-bah-deuh (Harvard in Korean) lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825221 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:28:59 +0000 BeachMama 825221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She points at everything now, and when I asked her where the light was she pointed at it. I'm definitely realizing that she understands a lot more than I thought she did! I need to start watching my language =)</p> <p> She also took 2 steps on her own the other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825216 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:26:58 +0000 Freckles 825216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: My LO did that too a few weeks ago. Doesn't it just surprise you?? :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-the-last-thing-your-lo-did-that-surprised-you#post-825214 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:25:33 +0000 betsyboop 825214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today I realized that my 12 month old recognizes the 10 or so books we have in regular rotation. I was making lunch for her and she did something that reminded me of a book we read, so I started reciting that part of the book, and then she crawled to her book bin and grabbed that book! I was so surprised that I started asking her to find other books by name, and she pulled out the correct ones! </p> <p>I was amazed, and also scared because I started wondering how much she probably knows/understands...yikes </p>
