The latest and greatest with Arnold at 7 months:
- sitting up independently (now, I can just sit him up and walk away). He likes to sit up and play with his toys.
- 2 pearly whites on the bottom (lots of chewing, drooling and biting these days. everything goes in the mouth
- not really interested in eating baby food. I try a couple times every day without much success. He just plain doesn't want to eat it. Most of the time, he is tight lipped and won't open up. Other times, I sneak it in and he gags. More recently, I have had a little success with a few bites (and a lot of theatrics) and I tried puffs last night and he loved them! I was shocked that he was actually able to pick them up (with much concentration) and put them in his mouth. Really fun to watch.
- hugs and kisses - Arnold gives me lots of big hugs and open mouth kisses. He is always smiling and happy to see me first thing in the morning. He usually just lays in his crib patiently until someone comes to get him up.
- reaching a little - for me and recently for Brad (loves his daddy)
- bouncing - likes to bounce, especially to music
- grabbing - anything in reach
- playing - with toys now
- sounds - lots of squeals and "ma, ma, ma", "da-da-da" (not intentionally to us, but it won't be long!)
- laughs at big sister
Arnold is a sweet little thing. His temperament, so far, is very sweet, laid back and patient. I think he is going to be a lot like his daddy.
