It always amazes me seeing how much William is growing and changing. In answer to the question below, while in some ways it seems real that he’s almost eight months old, in others it’s absolutely unbelievable. I’ve been trying to get him to learn to clap and play peek-a-boo, the former he has never done and the latter only one time, yet he already is pulling himself up by things to briefly stand.
He definitely is getting more dexterous with his hands. Sometimes he will pick things up and other times slap at them.
He definitely wants to be on his two feet. A lot of this is probably as he is around bigger kids often at daycare. He just can’t wait till he can play with them instead of having to just watch.
He loves to try to run things, holding his own bottle and going after whatever he wants to hold or do.
He plays hard and so when he crashes he’s down for the count. Often milk at just the right time will put him down for a long nap.
It’s great to see how he is in some ways ahead of the pack with developmental actions, and in others still has a ways to go.
