Last week, he started sitting up on his own from lying down, which was quickly followed by pulling up in his crib (obviously freaking me out!).
I mean, he's only 6 1/2 months old, for Pete's sake!!! He's continued to try and pull up on any and everything, constantly bumping his noggin. I guess it's just the first of multiple bumps, I'm sure.
Keith and I have been thinking for a little over a month that Knox would be crawling any day because of how upset he gets when he gets in crawling position and goes nowhere. Well today, I think he finally figured it out but didn't realize it. He would crawl 2-3 paces, then sit up. He's not fussing quite as often, probably due to the fact that he's getting to where he wants to go. I'm excited that I have this genius baby, but at the same time I don't want to rush him through his infancy. My mom keeps telling me that when babies are more advanced than normal, they are making way for the next child. I assure her at each mentioning that #2 won't be here until Knox is on his way to being
potty trained--well, at least that's the plan for now.
Knox has also figured out how to hold his bottle a little better and actually hold it up, for the most part. He still gets a little perturbed when he can't get it in the correct position, as he does with most other things that he can't get done himself. I'm still a little concerned that Knox isn't
babbling as much I think he should, but maybe it's a good thing that he's not talking my ear of already--or maybe he just can't get a word in edgewise--hmm.
We've had fun at Ma Jack's and Big Daddy's. Knox has taken his first swim at the Hartley's, where I had my first swim, and thoroughly enjoyed himself. I wasn't able to witness that, as I wasn't able to witness the first time my son was on a horse or four-wheeler with his Granddaddy Rogers, but I'm thankful for cameras to capture it forever. I can't wait to see him in the ocean in a few weeks, so I'll have to
fill you in on that later.
