Angus loves to eat. No really, he loves. to. eat. He eats all the food on his plate and insists on more by clenching his fists like the hulk. When food comes near his mouth, he opens up as wide as possible and eats in big gulps, not wasting a drop. He does this two or three times a day!
Tonight, he ate half a banana, half an avocado, 1/4 cup squash, and 1/4 cup of Cheerios, all before his nighttime 8oz bottle. Amazing.
Listening to: Elizabeth Mitchell - You Are My Sunshine, Schoolhouse Rock (Grammar Rock), Disneymania
Reading (aka chewing): Angus would rather have a book in his mouth than in front of his eyes. His favorite sucking book is "Hello Bee, Hello Me" which is full of mirrors. Every time he sees himself in one of the pages, he's delighted.
Playing:
Eating: Angus became an eating fiend. His favorite food is bananas, but he also loves oatmeal & yams. Applesauce is still a little tart for Angus. He eats a quarter to half a cup in a sitting and has 2 solid meals a day (lunch and dinner).
Sleeping: Angus is still sleeping well. He goes to bed around 7:30 and wakes up around 5am. Then he eats and takes another nap with mom until around 6:30.

Events:
Over the past three days, Angus has learned how to launch himself. Two days ago, he went from lying down to sitting up without any help for the first time. Yesterday, he figured out how to go from sitting to half standing / half kneeling (like in this photo).
Since Angus can now launch himself, Alex dropped the floor of his crib to the lowest setting last night. Angus promptly scooted over to the crib bars, and used them to pull himself up to a tenuous standing position. He then promptly yelled Haaaaah! Haaaaah! Hah!
