8 Months!

Nate rolls all around, he can get from seated to tummy, back to seated.

Nate squirms all around - he pushed backwards and pivots with ease. He gets on his hands/knees and rocks. He can also get on tiptoes & hands - sort of like downward dog (for those that know yoga) without his butt so high. Basically he can get where he needs to go, though not super efficiently. He is very very close to a true crawl. Then there will be no stopping him!

Nate can pull up to his knees and is trying very hard to pull up to standing. He can pull up to standing in the crib (though I have only seen him do it once at the new, lowered height.

He continues to eat well - he eats purees 2 times a day and sometimes has some banana or avocado in a little mesh feeding bag in addition. We have tried to give him some puffs & cheerios, but he can't quite eat them without coughing them back out. Has does like to suck on pizza crusts.

He has started to really enjoy music and will wiggle his body when he hear something he likes.

His sleeping was horrible most of the month with many night wakings and short naps. The last week or so (last night the exception) hasn't been as bad. He even had a couple of nights where he slept 8-5 and then again to 7. I am not sure what is normal now. He does go down extremely easily at bedtime (he falls asleep on his own).

He is solidly in his 12-18 month clothes, most of the 6-12 month ones are too small.
