Our little man is officially crawling, army-style. Every so often, he'll hitch to his knees, but he hasn't figured out how to move while in that position. No matter. Scott and I don't think Hunter will stick with crawling once he figures out/ is strong enough to walk. Even now, he prefers "walking" (see photo). Seriously. When he's "walking", he's even happier than usual. AND he directs us where to go (usually to Leah's Jeep or some other toy).
Now that we've introduced solids, I'm hoping that the little man will gain weight a bit more consistently. He seems to enjoy his food, especially the fruit, but sometimes I wonder if the play factor is more appealing to him. Just yesterday, I left him alone with his breakfast while I walked a friend out. What was I thinking?! When I came back, he had managed to dump the rest of his cereal out on the tray... and into his chair. Oh my.
Have I mentioned his tooth? His first tooth showed up at the beginning of this month, and we're expecting a second one any day based on the excessive drooling lately. This means he's gnawing on EVERYTHING in sight.
We're slowly but surely learning the differences between Hunter and Leah's personalities. While Leah loved books even as an infant, Hunter prefers anything with music and lights. Occasionally, he'll sit still for one and maybe two stories, but that's only if he has another book to chew on. He's already shown an interest in Leah's toys, which isn't a problem now, especially the fireplace in her dollhouse (it lights up and plays music, see note above). He also loves playing "food" with me and Leah. Basically, he just loves playing with Leah period.
Here's to my happy, cuddly baby boy. Happy seven-month birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Scene from yesterday's breakfast.
Hunter loves standing up in his high chair...
especially if Leah's waiting for him on the other side!
