It is amazing how quickly he is growing up. Just last month we were so excited about William sitting up on his own. We thought it was amazing that he finally saw his toys on the floor next to him and would reach for them. He was able to open his hands, grab them and bring them to his mouth.
This month? He began to be so interested in his toys, he couldn't decide which one to choose from. He can finally entertain himself. We sit him in the middle of his toys and he picks up one after the other. This allowed us to be able to get some stuff done around the house.
Next, if Will was put on his stomach, he would push his body backwards moving himself around. Since he prefers to be sitting, it wasn't all the time.
Mar 22, Will learned to move from sitting to crawling and crawling to sitting. He doesn't actually crawl really. From a seated position, he lunges forward for a toy. Then, holding the toy, he pushes himself backwards into a seated position again. This gets him around the room pretty quickly. If we look away, he no longer will be in the exact same spot anymore....he can be across the room and getting into various things.
We caught his first time on video by accident. We were trying to show how he scoots himself backwards, when he pushed himself into a seated position! Now, being on his stomach doesn't matter to him at all. He can easily sit up on his own.
But if he rolls onto his back, he is stuck....like a turtle on his shell :)
We have now had to baby proof our house. Minor stuff at this point....the electrical outlets are blocked and we don't store magazines, etc, at his height anymore. Unfortunately, not much we can do about wires. We have a LOT of electronics in the house.
Will's two teeth have grown in completely now and they are sharp! He still likes to put everything in his mouth. It is his way of exploring.
William is starting to get a personality. He laughs all the time and it makes us so happy. Anything makes him laugh now. John can just start laughing and William will join in. Its adorable!
Such an adorable boy we have!
William has continued trying new foods. At 7 months, he has now tried rice cereal, sweet potatoes, acorn squash, peas, bananas, apples, pears, and avacoda.
He still gets all his nutrition from breast milk and formula though. He is learning to hold his bottle on his own.
William loves his bouncy toys. Even when he is sitting on your lap, he continues to bounce himself up and down.
Here are some random pictures through the month:
