"While your 7-month-old has already accomplished a great deal by this time, it's almost as if the first six months of his life have been a training period for active duty."
That's what my book says.
Check.
This week my baby has changed. Gone is this sedate, easy-going baby. He is still a happy camper, but he is now an explorer. If anything is close-to-within reach, it will be his. I put him down on the floor and in about 3 seconds, I turn to find him sucking on a cord. He broke a vase yesterday because I walked by it, and he grabbed the flowers before I could even think. Last week he would gag eating cherrios, this week, he is only interested in solids. Bottle feeding takes FOREVER, as he is not very interested in just sitting and sucking. Even as I was feeding him today, and he was so tired that he was falling asleep, his hand was still out trying to grab my face, or anything else around. He is even starting to use the chewed-up sippy cups passed down from older siblings.
He has become squirrelly. And while he is not crawling yet (thank goodness!), he is starting to get around. As he is constantly bouncing (people remark about that constantly) or moving. I am beginning to think that while he may have started out calm, this child is really not so different than my other two.
