With crawling mastered you
quickly turn your attention the next gross motor skill of standing, building
your leg strength and furniture walking. You tried crawling on your hands and
feet once or twice but you mustn’t have found it practical or elegant enough to
continue with. Instead you practised pulling yourself up although it was a few before
you mastered letting yourself down. I would often find you crying in
frustration as you found yourself stuck standing looking down at a toy that you
couldn’t get down to. And within a few weeks you were ready for furniture
walking and with a lack of suitable furniture for you to walk around with you
found that pushing the bean bag around was the perfect height and speed.

Other 2 teeth this month which
has lead to issues with you biting me. 3 times at the morning feed was enough
for me to be thankful that I was glad that I had started weening you and for the
rest of the day you had the bottle. And when you bit me again that night I was
close to closing up shop however I just wasn’t ready to let go. With you being
my last I keep holding on to you just a little longer than I did with your
brother. I’m sorry but I think this might be an ongoing problem for now and
forever.
Your adding more sounds to your vocabulary
and no longer do you only shriek. You start to add gooing sounds and softer
sounding noises. With that you also found your tong and love to poke it out,
move it from side to side and try to grab and hold it. We have yet to notice
any sound that you say consistently that could mean something but we can defiantly
tell when you have seen something that your excited about as you shriek in
delight and start crawling toward what has excited you or if you’re in your highchair
you move around excitingly and stare. We
turned your car seat around this month and with that there are times were you
don’t stop babbling away, clearly you love being able to see everything.
You haven’t
been one to sit still while we change/dress you let alone any other time.
Unlike your brother you don’t even lie still when I sing to you (okay maybe a
few seconds while you give me a smile). The song that you smile the most at and
lay still longest for is
Twinkle
Twinkle Little Star
Sammy
brought a motor car.
Push the
button pull the choke.
Off she
goes in a cloud of smoke.
Like most
babies you love music; you will stop, turn your attention to music you hear and
start to bounce away. Sometimes you even raise the arms at the same time which almost
looks like you could be in a mosh pit or at a rave.
Below are some things we got up
to this month.

rather than shriek all the time, starting eating small pieces of food including
