Big Leaps
It seems as though in the span of 24-48 hours all of a sudden Colin could do all this new stuff. He can really sit for a long time, a couple of minutes if he feels like it. He is finally doing the mini-pushup thing and rolled over from front to back (albeit only once). While laying on the ground with his hands up off the ground he can lift his whole butt, stomach and legs off the ground - try it yourself - it is almost impossible for me to do. He also started scooting forward a bit to try to get to things. When we prop him up he puts full weight on his legs and stands, almost to the point where I feel like he could stand for a second by himself.
He really likes his exersaucer thing. He looks like a busy little guy in it - like he has a list of things he wants to do and he is busy at work playing with each toy. When I watch him you can really see him thinking about how one object hits another or if it can fit through a space or what happens when he drops it (which is all the time).
He also loves Sevi - I wouldn’t be surprised if “dog” was his first word. He smiles at her and tries to grab her ears. She has been great so far, but we will see once he starts crawling around and getting into her space.
We have tried to start solid foods to a mixed review. Some days he will eat them, some days no way. He always makes a face though, as if he is not really sure what the stuff in his mouth is and what he is supposed to do with it. We will keep trying though, I can’t feed him forever
