We are almost at the end of your 7th month. You are rocking your two bottom teeth and seem to have another one on the way. You push yourself up into plank position and sometimes onto your hands and knees-you are so close to crawling I can see it.
The past couple of weeks I've been bringing you to the YMCA babysitting. After a rough start, you now love it there. They have so many toys to play with! Sometimes there are a lot of other kids and I've come back to find you at the center of a circle, like a queen holding court, surrounded by toddlers and school aged kids entertaining you. Other times you're alone with the sweet caregivers-you like this too because they will take you to see the basketball court or the pool. And, oh, the pool! Well! You went swimming for the first time a week ago-we were lucky enough to be invited to take a class with other little ones. This was fantastic for me because I learned some fun things to do with you in the water. You were completely overwhelmed by the pool-you had eyes like saucers and just looked out at everything, not even making eye contact with me. But the second time we went swimming, you were much more animated. You splashed in the water, looked at me and the other kids and had a general good time!

swimming! we went with your BFF and she loved it, too!
The food adventures continue, too. You finally have a high chair, though you've only been in it a couple of times. The first time, you happily ate a carrot. Well, maybe about a third of a carrot. But you seemed to enjoy it. Then we gave you chicken. Oh, my! You really like chicken. We gave you a chicken wing and you would bring it to your mouth, open wide and then grin at us. This is the first time we've ever gotten a response like that. So, clearly more chicken is in order!
But, really though, you will put anything in your mouth. Chewing on anything and everything you can get your hands on is really the main event. Including your poor little buddy here. In fairness, he does look delicious
