These are pictures of Gus with Kanba, one of our two cats. Kanba has done much better adjusting to Gus than Mariko has. It's amazing what Kanba will let Gus get away with...especially when Kanba is hungry (as he was in this situation...not venturing too far from the food bowl)! The scene above is not normal, however, so it was really cool to watch Kanba accept Gus's excitement and rough play.
In addition to cat wrangling, we thought we'd let you know what Gus is into these days.
Interests: phones, remote controls, spoons, cats, dogs, food (especially peas, bananas, carrots and yogurt), buttons, ceiling fans, lights, sucking his thumb, mirrors, splashing and picture books (which he can hold on his own...sometimes).
Words he understands: Mama, Dada, Gus, Kanba, Mariko, cat, dog, eat and up.
Signs we are focusing on: Mama, Dada, cat, dog, eat, up, ball and hi/see ya.
Signs he understands: dog, eat and hi/see ya.
Signs he can, well, sign: hi/see ya (new over the past week! he waves at himself instead of waving outwardly...so cute!!!!!!!)
New accomplishments: signing hi/see ya, crawling, sitting up from a crawling position, crawling from a sitting position, pulling himself up to a standing position (FIRST TIME TODAY; his motivation: he couldn't see the dogs he was eyeing!).
It has been so fun to watch Gus grow and learn. Seeing him crawl and wave have been especially rewarding. We are blessed to have such a healthy, happy and well adjusted boy. Praise be to God for the work He has done!
