Ah! My camera can’t keep up! Within the past two weeks Sean has for the first time:
- Put together the sequence of moves to go from lying to standing
- Pulled up on everything possible in our apartment
- Stood on his own for a couple seconds
- Figured out how to crawl without falling down onto his stomach
- Moved away from us to go play with something out-of-reach
- Climbed up stairs
- Slept for over an hour at daycare
- Gotten a 7th tooth
- Waved bye-bye

- Hand-signing “all done” when he’s finished with something and wants to do something else
- Gone down for naps gently, awake, without rocking, and even eagerly at times
- Given clearly intentional hugs
I’m probably forgetting something. It’s been fun! (Though I’m not a fan of Daylight Savings throwing a wrench into our Paradise of Good Sleep.)
