It all started with the Jumperoo, around 5 months. Like most babies, Hadley loves it. He will stay in there and jump for as long as I will let him.
I suppose that made for some strong legs, for at 6 months he surprised us with this.
Around the same time, he started sitting up alone.P.S. I can't figure out how to rotate my pictures on here - somebody help!
Not just fun for Hadley, but for Brendan, too! He loves having a playmate.
He doesn't mind the bath seat either. He just takes a turn when Hadley is finished.
Getting Hadley to eat solid foods got off to a really slow, tedious start. He would barely open his mouth and most of it ended up on him (as you can see). However, just recently -- around 7 1/2 months, he just suddenly started loving it. Literally overnight he went from eating 2 T. of rice cereal and rejecting all fruits and vegetables to eating a full 1/4 cup of cereal plus an entire container of any and every fruit or vegetable available. Whew.
Then, right at 7 months, this happened. He had been scooting a bit before that, but we were shocked when all of the sudden he was up on all fours and starting to move. He still mostly does an army crawl/inchworm crawl, but when he wants to get somewhere fast he knows how to do it. Some people let out a sad sigh when kid #2 starts to crawl, but I am really glad. Pretty much the only time Hadley whines is when he cannot not reach a toy he wants. Now he can get it himself. Nice.
