November highlights:
  • Took first unassisted steps on 09 November (age 1 year, 9 days). By the end of the month, able to walk quite a few steps without falling over (usually)
  • Loves to say "deesh" (i.e. "I want this" or "what is this?") while pointing at objects. He often sits up as soon as he wakes up in the morning, and wakes mom and dad by saying "deesh"
  • Loves to watch the moon
  • Top 2 molars appeared, and a few more bottom teeth appeared, so that he has 14 teeth by end of the month
  • First Thanksgiving dinner where Jadon could try the food. He seemed to think it was OK, but not nearly as good as breast milk.
