I know...I know. I was late in posting Joshua as 7mos old, and now I'm early at posting him as 8 mos!! but time is FLYING!! Here is a cute pic I got of this little guy recently!
He is now trying to move forward to get things that are out of his reach! It's so much fun to watch. Joshua has not ever really enjoyed his tummy time, so since he started sitting up, I put him on the floor with toys in front of him. He's going to start crawling from the sitting position, which is different than what Kateli. Kateli enjoyed tummy time! So, she started crawling by getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth. Joshua on the other hand, is starting from sitting position, so he leans over, catches himself with his arms and starts turning one leg out behind him. He hasn't gotten the other one quite behind him yet, so for now he ends up in a split position. I'll have to post some pics of that--it's quite amazing. So, anyway once he's in this position he starts rocking forward, grunting and reaching for the item in focus...
Joshua is sleeping through the nights now--well, for the most part. Seems that when Kateli is up at night, he tends to be woken up. Can't say that I blame him, I mean if everyone else is up, why miss out on all the fun!! He's graduated to eating fruits now, and three times a day, all the while nursing about 4 or 5 times a day! I'd tell you if he had a favorite, or if he preferred the fruits over veggies, but I can't say that he's shown a preference. He eats whatever is on his spoon and put in front of his mouth, and he DOESN'T wince! He has his cereal for breakfast; then a fruit for lunch, and for dinner it's a veggie and cereal. In between these meals he nurses!! It's amazing how well this child eats. Let's hope it lasts!!
