He army crawls (since 5.5 months) with his left arm and right leg. Actually, he kinda looks like a wounded soldier when he does it.
He gets up on his hands and knees to rock (since shortly after he learned to army crawl, so much so that I thought his army crawl would be short lived).
He sits up (since 7 months).
He sits on his knees
And now pulls himself to stand. However, the only thing he's done pulled himself up on was Luke's Sit-and-Spin. But the handle spins! So Brody will get up, then turn to look at something and fall down. He appears to try to pull himself up on the couch or the tub, but he can't get a handle on it with his hands. The Sit-and-Spin is just short enough that he can do it. So I am so excited the boys are getting an activity table about the same height for Christmas from their Grandma. He will love it!
He can hold his own bottle (since 6 months).
Brody eats fruits, veggies, and now meats. All baby food of course.
He LOVES Cheerios!! I started him on puffs because they dissolve in his mouth. He could already pick them up and eat them himself! I don't remember starting him on Cheerios...I think he actually ate them off the floor after Luke dropped them. He didn't seem to have a problem with them so I gave him some. He eats one at a time, chews and swallows. I was always so nervous that Luke would choke. It was a common practice to give babies Cheerious in the nursery at church, but I always told them, "no Cheerios!" If I remember right, Luke would take them by the handful and forget to chew. I didn't plan on giving them to Brody but he seems to do well with them.
He claps (since 6 months?)
He signs more (since 7.5 months). He's recently really gotten it. We haven't been teaching it long either. Today we got to McDonalds, sat him in a high chair, and he started with the 'more' sign. I love that he was communicating, "I want some." I'm sure there are more signs I could be doing with him, but 'more' is what we got for now.
He waves hi. He sticks his arm out with his hand open. Since I don't know when. He's been doing it a long time but only now have we realized it is an intentional wave.
He babbles saying mostly d sounds.
