Moses is 7 months old today! In the past week or so he's figured out how to get into a sitting position on his own, and he likes to bounce up and down while perched on his bum. He loves crawling around the house scavenging for all the toys and knick-knacks his brothers leave lying around. It's so nice living in a house with no stairs- one less thing to worry about!
Moses has also started babbling. He says "Ma-ma-ma-ma" when he wants me to hold him or feed him. He also likes to say "Na-na-na-na" when he's in a playful mood. He loves playing with his older brothers, and Joshua is especially good at entertaining him. Joshua will stand across the room from Moses and say "koochi koochi coo!" while running in place, squinting his eyes, scrunching up his nose, and shaking his head. This act never fails to send Moses into a fit of giggles, complete with batting his arms and kicking his feet in delight.
And if for no other reason than to prove that there is no such thing as a perfect baby, Moses has decided to be a little more demanding recently. He whines and pouts when he wants me to hold him, which is almost every waking moment. Mind you, this wouldn't be a huge inconvenience if Moses weighed as much as an average 7-month old baby (most people assume he's a toddler and are shocked when I tell them how old he really is). His two top front teeth are coming in, so I'm assuming that has something to do with his sudden spike in neediness. But considering he still sleeps about 9 hours straight each night on a regular basis, I have absolutely no reason to complain!
