7 Months!!

Okay.....Will is 8 months.  Once again I'm behind.  But here are his 7 month accomplishments!

Date:  Sept 13th, 2012

Age:  7 Months

Some of your new friends are:  Malcolm, Finn, Leo, Auntie Chelsea, Auntie Josie, Rachel, Amanda, Hayden, Sage, and Issy!

Relatives that have paid a special visit to you are:  Grandma and Grandpa Routley, Auntie Sandra and Uncle Kal, Uncle Brent and Auntie Kristi, Aunt Janice and Linda and Liam, Michelle and Jim Clunie, Shamus and Nigel and Samson Clunie.

You have taken a particular liking to:  Sagelyne and Hayden, as well as your Nana.  Probably because she looks and sounds like mom.  She can hold you the longest so far :)

We can tell your coordination is progressing by the way you:  Move around just a tiny bit when on your tummy...but really....who crawls.  You'd rather walk!  So, you prefer to stand and cruise a little bit in the living room.  You also really enjoy playing with your Ball-cano and still love your exersaucer.  You can balance quite well when standing.  It gets better every day.  Today you just stopped yourself from falling over!  Quite the accomplishment.

The sounds you make include:  La-la, ma-ma, va-va, da-da, ga-ga, razz berries, clicking your tongue, ta-ta, na-na, fa-fa, the "crowd cheering" sound, growling, giggling, and sometimes your dinosaur squeals.

You have become so receptive.  We are teaching you to:  Pull yourself up to a standing position, move around on your tummy, hold food and put it in your mouth (you really aren't keen on putting objects in your mouth like some babies are...and that's okay with me!!...although it would be nice when those teeth are bugging you...;)).  To bend and sit from a standing position, and how to pick up your toys when you drop them while standing.  Lots to do!  We are having so much fun with you!!

So....when do first words start?  Does it count that he'll be making a baby sound and then look at me and bust out a "mmmuummm!!"  This has happened on more than one occasion:)
