Caedmon is 7 Months!

Can you believe it? Caedmon turned 7 months last Wednesday ... he's getting so old!

And it seems that just within the week he's growing, changing and making more advances toward crawling. I'm not exactly sure how much he weighs right now ... probably around 21 or 22 pounds, but here are some other milestones that he's achieved:

Sitting Up: Caedmon's a rock star when it comes to sitting up these days - very little weeble wobble effect. He can even reach for things to his right and left and still stay pretty stable.

Early Crawling Phase: Now, when Caedmon sits up and begins to lunge for toys, especially when they're in front of him, he has managed to maneuver himself back on to his stomach and wedge his knees and feet up.

Rolling Over
: Caedmon perfected the "rolling from stomach to back" a while ago but just recently, he's started to lunge for toys and other things while he's on his back, which causes him to hang out on his left or right side a lot. And occasionally, he'll find himself on his stomach after all that effort, but it's the norm yet.

Foods: Caedmon enjoys a variety of foods these days including sweet potato, banana, peaches, peas, spinach, pear, carrots, rice cereal, oatmeal, egg yolk, and yogurt. Notice that I didn't mention avocado. Although he can eat it every once in a while, it's not a food that I would say he "enjoys." Maybe some day!

New Activities: Caedmon loves to swing at the park now and as of Saturday, he really enjoys "swimming" in the pool.
