I hadn't even posted William's 6-month photo shoot pictures until now (above), and already they're outdated! A week ago he was able to sit up unassisted for just a few seconds before he'd topple over. A few days later, it was about a minute, and now all of a sudden he can stay upright for a pretty long time! He also, just this weekend, discovered that he can put his rolling skills to use to get around. He's been able to roll both ways for awhile now, but didn't do it often. Suddenly on Saturday, he started rolling 4-5 times in the same direction all at once, and was all over the living room floor! The nice little quilt that has been his play area for the past 6 months is now way too small.
I've been trying to get some good videos of the sitting and rolling. Here are a few new ones: sneak peaks into a Day in the Life of William... playing with Georgia, his favorite "toy," bouncing in his Jumperoo, and practicing sitting.

I think that this past week, he may have changed more than any week yet so far. It's really amazing!
We are really in trouble; time to start babyproofing immediately! For now we've been setting up a barrier around him with pillows, etc. (in fact, excuse the mess in these videos!) but that won't work for long. He looks so proud when he sits and moves. I can't believe he is so big and strong enough to do all of this. It seems like from months 0-6 he was an infant, and all of a sudden, he's a "big" baby!
Here are a few pictures from the past week.
Playing in his crib:
Waking up in the big boy bed (he has been waking up at 4 or 5, and after he eats, he falls back asleep in our bed for a little while... I love this one!
First time in his little pool in the backyard; it was hot this weekend:
Sunday afternoon playing and practicing his new sitting skills:
I love the waking up one, too! This kid is so cute it drives me crazy!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Although I am partial to the 2nd one from the left on the row of sitting pics... he looks so funny (in a cute way, of course!)
