| |  As Samsam turns seven months, he has yet to master sitting upright by himself. We're really looking forward to this as it will mean we won't be burdened with his heavy car seat, which is of course even heavier when he's in it. At his last checkup, he weighed 17lbs 3.5oz so I'm guessing by now, he should be at least 18lbs. He loves going after things and has gotten quite mobile but about two weeks ago, he started his version of a 'crawl'. Prior to that, he was mainly playing bulldozer, ie. rolling around to get to his destination. However, he now uses his feet to propel him forward. At first, it was more like an inchworm-esque motion.. but now he's getting into the crawling position.. arms outstretched, bum in the air, and knees on the floor. He can't sustain it for too long, but we're guessing it's only a short while before he really starts crawling. I think Sam is getting a little concerned as Samsam is showing his penchant for tech stuff.. his favorite prey includes the speakers, the computer, and any wires lying around. The only thing that distracts him from his target is if I get his attention with his other toys. However, once I take my eyes off him, he's back where he began.
We've also noticed that our little boy is quite the flirt.. er.. charmer. A few weeks ago, we were in line at a Dunkin Donuts with two teenage girls behind us. Sam was standing at an angle, and Samsam started looking at one of the girls. He then smiled his contagious smile and the girl smiled back. Samsam continued staring at her until she went to place her order. At that point, Samsam turned his attention to the other girl and started smiling at her. The two girls thought this was cute, but I'll have to tell him when he's older that this is not a good way to treat girls.. no one wants to be second choice.
I'm glad to see he's friendly right now though. Since we don't get to go back to SJ often, I worry he'll feel anxious when he's with a lot of people, esp. people he's not familiar with. However, he's pretty good about being passed around. I guess he likes having the attention of people other than just his parents. He's also very cooperative when we go out.. he smiles at almost everyone who looks at him, which usually prompts a "He's so cute.. he's such a good boy" type of comment from strangers. Hopefully he continues to be friendly as he grows up.
Lastly, we started ferberizing him a few weeks ago. It was really tough in the beginning, but now he doesn't fight is as much. He usually falls asleep within 5-10 minutes of being put in his crib and has set his sleep time for around 7:30. Funny enough, he's become strict with his feeding schedule; he likes to eat his solids by 6:30 otherwise he'll cry and refuse to eat a lot.
As you can see, he's starting to become a little boy. He's even started practicing writing his own blog. Here's his first one. I think he put it in code so I won't infringe on his privacy.
