Grandson is 7 months old. He's just getting his legs under him for precrawling. Can do lunging and bunny position with his legs under him but he much prefers rolling to get where he wants. Crawling is frustrating as VJ is finding. Standing and jumping he's already got. They've this contraption that is a circle with interesting things on it to play with but the seat in the center allows the child to bounce inside this ring. He is very experienced in bouncing and standing with support, since his balance isn't there yet, isn't difficult though his knees sometimes give out and you have to catch him.
Lately he's practiced blowing raspberries with banana in his mouth. *GRINS* The Mother's Curse is a wonderful thing. My daughter is learning/has learned that the less clothes on the baby the easier the clean up is. Don't think she's used the spray feature of her kitchen faucet to its full functioning yet.
When did they start making baby food available in pouches? She cheated. Put the pouch in his mouth and slow squeezed out the food, she tells me. Babies need to learn how to do spoons. *nods head and grins*

Last time I talked to her on the phone, she'd say something conversational to little him and they were definitely having a conversation though she didn't realize it. The cadence and pauses were there in the back and forth, *grins* he was speaking in baby.

I wonder about those kids that suck down their food from little packets. And they are so much more expensive than a jar. Juice comes in these bags too. What about learning hand eye coordination?

My older son used to have monologues. He was very talkative. People would ask what he said, but I couldn't understand it either.

Yeah pouch foods. Admittedly my parents gave me pablum before they were supposed to. In my bottle and Xed the nipples so I'd sleep through the night.
Pouch foods. Eat food the astronaut way. Soon we won't need teeth except for fighting and shred the other astronauts' air supply tubes. hmmm wandering off topic?

Daughter seemed quite sheepish when she admitted using the pouch that way. Expense... they manage/budget their money but buy at expensive grocery stores. *sighs* Says the hoarder because you never know when you might need that bit of string/plastic bottle/torn sheet.

*grins* Is your son still talkative? Did he out grow this trait?

I need crunch. It doesn't matter how much I eat, if it's all the same texture (like a shake, or even a sandwich on soft bread, strawberries, and an orange) my mouth stays hunger. I need raw carrots or chewy bread or a crisp apple.

Sometimes time is more precious than money.

The teenage years were hard on my son. He can talk for hours, but if the person doesn't respond in kind (like I can't help but do when he's talking about stuff I don't understand), he walks away. Poor kid. He's the one that makes me feel like a bad parent.
