[7 months] Crawling, daycare and others

Sam crawled forward 2 days before he was 7 months old (I knew this because I sent Simon an email about it). It was a slow, two-or-three-steps-then-rest sort of crawl, but within a week, Sam could crawl almost as fast as I walked (slowly). Sam is now very good at going back and forth over the step between our lounge and family room and he is trying to stand too! This is how Sam climb over the step- he raises his bottom up in the air, moves his hands and wriggles his bum to go over the step. Samuel spent a lot of time at the step every day!




Samuel knows to wave when you wave at him. He stares at people he doesn't know, really stares. He gets very vocal when he's tired or bored. He doesn't cry very often, but when he cries (usually when he bump his head most recently), lots of big tears rolling down his cheeks. He was crying quite hard in the pram the other day (I was at the Medicare office), that Mother-in-law told me that his ears were filled with tears!

Samuel babbles and tries to say words sometimes. He loves Zebadee(I don't think the reverse is true). He is very inquistive and loves to play balls. He push the ball with his hand then crawls to where the ball is and do that again and again. Like all babies, he's very interested in the things he can't have, like remote control, camera, watches etc. Sam had his first full day at daycare two weeks ago. He's doing one day a week and seemed to be doing very well. He slept for nearly two hours last week but was usually exhausted by the time he came home.



Sam was 9.7 kg on 15th of March (about 7.5 months old). No wonder my back aches sometimes.
