Milestone Monday

It's been too long since we shared milestones. I don't know if it's the same with your babies, but I feel like there's a new milestone every day this month! I'll just pick the most recent ones or you'll all be rolling your eyes at me. LO is 9.5 months.
1. He finally learned how to pick up food and put it in his mouth! (If he picked it up before he would just squish it in his fingers. Or, if he wanted to eat something, he'd lean his head down to the placemat to pick it up with his mouth. It was pretty adorable). Anyway, now that he's started there's no stopping him. He eats SO MUCH.
2. Today both DH and I saw him follow instructions. I asked him to point at the baby in the book, and he did. DH told him he could kiss the baby (in a different book) and he leaned right in to do so. It's a different level of comprehension than we've noticed before!
Please share yours!

Re: Milestone Monday
-Waving hello to people
-Pincher grip with food
-actually eating real food (no more purées for this kid!)
-Standing unassisted for short periods of time
1. Waving hello or bye, she's also figured out saying buh when she's waving Bye.
2. Standing up without assistance and taking one or two steps holding on.
3. Classic crawling. She's been a champion army crawler since a little over 6 months but she can now move FAST and no more belly on the ground.
4. Pressing buttons and pulling things on toys, and picking up books and turning pages.
This is such a fun, sweet age. if I could keep her like this forever (minus the night feedings and breastfeeding), i thinkle I'd be tempted to!
1. We started to stand unassisted the other day for short periods of time
2. She started to shake her yes, we've been doing "no" for a while since she gets that more often haha
3. Pointing at everything! She pointed at the button on my coat yesterday and when I told her it was a button she tried to repeat it
4. She figured out how to hit the little red on button on an annoying talking toy
The newest milestones this month are:
1. Clapping when DH or I say, "good job."
2. Saying, "no, no, no" while shaking her head.
3. Playing "peek-a-boo." This one is my favorite. She will put something over her head (blanket, article of clothing, etc.) wait for me to say, "where's Wren?" and then whip it off her head while giggling away. She also likes when Mommy or Daddy puts something over their head too.
The list goes on, but I think these are the most fun. I agree that she seems to learn something new every single day!
Brynlee loves to wave. She claps. She points (pushes buttons, too). She's discovered her belly button, which is hilarious. Her love for her siblings has really grown, too. She insists on giving hugs and kisses. It's so fun to watch.
The biggest milestone is her walking. She walks probably 75% or more of the time now. Full speed ahead!
Waves bye bye (only to grandpa)
Crawls constantly.
Pulls himself up and walks around holding on
yesterday, I was watching him play with his toys at my moms- he can stack his stackable rings ( if we give him the rings in the right order) and put the little shape things in the shape holes.
(I suck at describing toys obviously lol)
Keaton is a chatter box!! Yes, Hey, zues, Sissy (dogs), Josh (oops I guess it's time to call me DH dad all the time) mom, stop, papa, the list goes on. He learned to turn off the lights. He has started to play pretend with things me and my DH use a lot, it's so cute! He claps, waves, and gives high fives. He has been crawling and pulling himself up for a while but he has no interest in walking or standing. He also started the little Bbbbbbbb thing with his figures and lips.
