Adventures in Crime Fighting

[mizarchivist]

A random collection of observations:

• As expected, bags are often more interesting than toys. We will graduate to cardboard boxes and sticks when he gets finer motor control. 
• There are now 4 teeth 
• There is less falling over when sitting up, but no forward locomotion. Yet. 
• Food is starting to actually stay in his mouth, not just act like the world's nastiest skin beauty treatment We were at Rudy's for dinner and he was OK with queso, and definitely without a doubt had interest in both beans and rice. Dinner times definitely include a solid food aspect now. The beans and rice thing is sort of a big deal because the oatmeal I'd gotten him generally is part of the beauty regimen, not part of the sustenance. So, no more narsty baby oatmeal. No problem. We discovered what formula's like this week. Apparently it doesn't perturb him in the least. Food is food. 
• He is managing to not have stranger anxiety thus far. I hope that continues past my parents' visit in a few weeks. They will be here between Easter and Patriots' Day.  
• He's not quite saying real protowords on purpose, but I think he's practicing a lot to himself.
• entrope swears he knows the sign for milk now, but I've not seen definitive proof. 
• I had a dream that he crawled out of his crib and was standing in the middle of the upstairs hall a few days ago. It was startling in its clarity, so I expect it's a fairly accurate view of the future.
• Next week he'll be 7 months.
