Milestones.....

Mr Josiah just keeps hitting his milestones! It's so neat to see him close to being "on schedule" with his development. There are a few areas that he's still a bit behind, but he's quickly catching up....quickly enough that we can't really classify it as "behind" anymore since he's within the normal range for the skills he has yet to develop! My 4# 11oz boy has sure made some progress...he's now 16# 10.5 oz at 8.5mos old. Where, oh where, did the time go?!?!?

FIRST TOOTH!!!! Our little man just got his first tooth on June 29th! He didn't seem to have much problems with getting this tooth in. I always check each day and he just happened to have a tooth that day!

ALMOST CRAWLING!!! He's as close to crawling without actually crawling that a baby can get, I think! He gets up on all fours, rocks back and forth, then lunges forward to do a chest plant into the carpet...then back up for another lunge! He also rolls and does the army/combat crawl in between. It's now time to start baby-proofing this house! With three big sisters, and all that "big girl" stuff around, he's got plenty to get into!
