Developmentally we're chugging right along.  He seems to be pretty good hand eye coordination wise. Especially with his feet.  Today on the changing table he picked up Mickey here with his feet and moved his legs up so he could grab Mickey with his hands.

He is sitting up unaided, as shown already.  He can roll over onto his side and just about over.  I've seen him roll over back to front once, but he just doesn't seem that interested in doing it consistently.

He has no teeth.  His gums are soooo swollen.  I think he may cut a bunch at once.  Oddly, I see his canines more than his front bottom two?  I don't know maybe I'm crazy.

He's sleeping better but not great.  Last night he was up from 11 - 230.  Just up.  I have to say it frustrated me behind belief.  It was not my greatest mommy moments.  I truly hope babies have no memory and that I can wash away those bad moments with lots of hugs and kisses.

He is growing so fast.  I get so frustrated but even in my frustration I know I will miss these moments.  He will only fall asleep with me for so long.  He will only let me rock him for a few months more, if he's like his brother.  He already won't fall asleep in bed with me anymore.  Believe me.  I've tried.  I think he was up last night because he's about to start moving.  I think his increased control of his limbs and trunk strength is evidence of that.

We still don't eat a lot of solid food.  We're going to have to start doing better about that.  At least at breakfast and dinner.

I'm trying to think of what else is new.  He's so big I think we're going to need to investigate getting him a bigger carseat soon.  Maybe at 8 or 9 months.  He's too cumbersome to carry in the baby carrier anyway.

He screams when you take a toy away.  G never did this.  And he grabs things to give hugs.  G wasn't doing that till much later.  I may be reading too much into involuntary grabbing.  But I'm pretty sure it's intentional.
