Coda's Quantum Leaps

Coda's done some pretty spectacular stuff in terms of development lately and it seems to have happened almost overnight.  He started crawling on 10/17/2012 and only days before that he was up on all 4's, rocking and swaying, trying to find his balance and weight distribution.  He weighs close to 18 pounds now and has 2 teeth in on the bottom.  I see his top teeth coming in VERY soon now, too.  Actually, I see lots and lots of swelling in his gums so I wouldn't be surprised if he started teeth in large clumps, as they usually do.  He has had one REALLY tough night in terms of teething pain but other than this, he has been a trooper.  He absolutely LOVES to play ball right now. Also I put him in his 'car' today as we walked (Nevi rode her bike) down to the park. He held himself up pretty, holding onto the steering wheel as I pushed (to clarify, it is our green plastic car with push handle.  Didn't use it a whole lot with Nevi since she wanted to walk everywhere but Coda seems pretty comfy in the driver seat.) Oh yeah, and Coda LOVES to read books.  We have all sorts of textural and animal books - he gets very engaged in them, seems to study them with great concentration.  He loves to turn the pages and touch the tabs and 'feely things'.
