New tricks at 7 months

These days, I like to feed myself the bottle…

… and then sleep on my tummy or side. This has been good since I have a bad cold at the moment and it helps me breathe without coughing. But, with mobility I sometimes get stuck and scream out for Mum or Dad to help (e.g. faceplant with twisted arms, or legs stuck out through cot bars).

I also like to:

• Sit up and play with my toys for 20-30mins without tumbling (Mum & Dad you can remove the safety pillows already!).
• Turn and look at you when you say my name. (Usually…)
• Immediately and quickly reach for interesting things around me with little regard for balance. (Lucky Dad holds me!)
• Chat endlessly, particularly after my early morning feed. (Which mum loves, but trades off against sleep.)
• Squeal when my face is wiped. (Especially when I have a runny nose.)
• Just have long morning & afternoon sleeps with no midday nap. (
• Cuddle Mum. (But only Mum.)
• Sing with Dad. (Well it’s kinda musical.)
