It's official...John's a mover!

A brief moment of stillness so mom can snap a picture to show how big John's getting.

John has made amazing progress in his development in such a short time. He has been sitting on his own for a couple weeks now and this last week has been working so hard to move towards a destination. He went from rocking on hands and knees to scooting on his belly to crawling in a week! John is 7 months old now and getting him to lay still next to his size monkey for pictures is becoming near impossible. He is on the verge of growing out of his 12 month clothes! I can't find a way to keep socks on this kid's feet either! He is exploring every part of his body, our faces, his room and toys, and the dogs when they let him get close enough. He is eating and breastfeeding well and mostly sleeping through the night. He can no longer go 10-12 hours without eating at night so we are up for his first feeding around 4:30 or 5 am. It's tough getting used to but he goes back to sleep right away so I can rest a little longer too. John is showing new interest in his toys that make noise when he hits and plays with them. He is really catching on to the 'cause and effect' play. His colorful blocks are still the favorite but he looses interest in everything faster than before and looks around for something new to grab and mouth. Last night Steve and I got him to move across his bedroom floor by stacking the blocks and moving them a few feet in front of him. Once he reached them and knocked them over we stacked and moved again. He made it all the way across in less than 10 minutes! I am preparing for a nonstop kid :) Videos to follow soon...the blog is not loading them right now
