What new milestones have your LO's acheived?

His newest ones are:

He sits up really well by himself (though he still falls in slow motion, eventually).
Says dada as of today.
He can sort of pull himself up. I haven't seen it though so . . .
He can put himself to sleep with minimal fussing.
His balance when he stands up is getting really good. He can maintain it for a while as long as he is holding onto something.
He can fling his toys realllly far
He tolerates being on his tummy pretty well now, and can inch on his belly a teeny little bit, or turn around in circles on his belly (not fast circles or anything, you get the idea).
He knows I am mama! I think!
I think I have gotten a kiss or two from him. I kiss him all the time though, and he is already flinching sometimes
He can turn a book page with help. Of course, he is really trying to eat it.


I guess that is it?

That's awesome Michelle!

Let's see:

~ She is just sitting up by herself for long periods of time (1/2 hr)... course we always put pillows around her as a just in case
~ She doesn't mind being on her belly at all anymore
~ She rolls over with intention now instead of by accident
~ She turns in circles on her belly and back
~ She gives kisses (only on her terms of course)
~ Very adept at pushing me away if she doesn't want kisses
~ Turns pages in books, mostly with help
~ She has stood with help for quite a while, but I don't trust to let her stand alone.
~ Puts everything in her mouth and I MEAN everything... including my hair

Hmm... Siera is now -

1 - walking along the furniture (holding on)
2 - if I say "high 5" she'll give me a high 5 and we'll both go "yaaaaaay"
3 - she can remove DH's PS3 games from the PS3 and wave them around (this one is my personal favorite ESPECIALLY if she does it while he's playing )
4 - she can do the Indian call - she puts her right hand over her mouth and smacks it up and down with her left hand while screaming so it sounds like "babababababababba"
5 - she's learning how to open my cabinets

OMG Siera is cracking me up! I cannot believe she is walking along furniture! It seems like just yesterday that she was so teeny tiny.

[SassyMama]

She is ridiculously active. I have NO idea how these kids are so energetic. She wears me out!

This is such a horrible thing to say but - when she crawls by me really fast and I see her out of the corner of my eye - I get flashbacks of the movie Child's Play when they show Chuckie going by the screen really fast. She's such a tiny person

Zane has been walking for a while now but for almost a month he now officially walks more than crawls and about 2 weeks ago learned how to stand up by himself. he's constantly on the move.

the only thing he can say is dog, but it's to anything that moves

Haylea is definately enjoying the world around her now! She is at the stage where she won't eat or sleep if anything exciting is going on. She has rolled over from belly to back a few times but with a little help getting propped up on her elbows. If I gently pull up on her arms when she is sitting she will push up pretty much on her own. She can push buttons on her exersaucer and new "computer" and she can almost sit up unassisted for about 5 seconds! LOL And only if I spread her legs out and she is leaning forward some...but it still counts! lol

Brady loves to stand up while we hold him. He could still care less about tummy time which makes me think he might be an early walker instead of a crawler. DH was fully walking by 9 months!

He loves playing with toys now. He reaches for everything. And of course it all goes in his mouth.

His latest milestones DO NOT include getting better at sleeping. He is regressing! Last night he went to bed at 7:15. He was very restless in his sleep and was up at 10, 11, 12-2, 5, 6, and 8. I feel like a zombie today.

Allie just started crawling on her hands & knees as opposed to army crawling which she's done for what seems like forever...I guess about 2 months now. But after a little bit, she gets lazy & goes back to army crawling

She pulls up on everything. It started in the bathtub about 6 weeks ago & now she does it all over the place. She's cracked her head twice at daycare because she was pulling up, let go, got scared & knocked into something

She was saying dada for about 2 months, but finally started saying mama last week just before Christmas Her first official word was yeah at around 6 months though. She also says baba, what, & oh. Oh is her favorite. She says it for everything LOL

She claps & waves like it's her job!

She self feeds now & we've been giving her table food more often. But her all time favorite are the Gerber Biter Biscuits. They're just a huge mess though LOL

It's hard to think....she's always going 100 miles a minute so it's hard to keep track of everything!!

I love hearing how your LO's are doing!
