Seven Month Milestones

Hi Folks!

Zachary is now ten months old, seven months old, corrected age (based off his due date, not his actual birth date). He will have his corrected age until he is two.

Here are some of the milestones for a seven month old baby (Zachary's progress is in blue).

*Bear weight on his legs when you hold him upright. - Yes, he can!
*Sit without support. - Yes, he can!
*Stand while holding onto someone or something. - Yes, he can! He loves standing up. He was leaning against the couch with his head yesterday. He's so cute!
*Pull himself up to a standing position from a seated one. - Nope, not yet.
*Walk by holding on to furniture. - Nope, not yet.
*He babbles. - Yes, he can, a lot!
*He plays peekaboo. - Yes, he can! On Christmas he loved playing peek-a-boo with the tissue paper (after putting it on his head.). Such a funny guy!
*He plays patty-cake. - Somewhat, although he hasn't quite grasped the open hand concept. Uncle Mike has been working with him on this every time he sees him.
*He waves. - Yes, he can, although he plays the piano with the same type of movement. It might not quite be a wave.
*He can say "mama" or "dada." - Yes, he can and does!

He can also roll around, find his feet, grasp objects, move toys from one hand to another, hold a toy in each hand and bring one up to his mouth, stick his tongue out, giggle, blow raspberries on Mommy and Daddy's shoulder, open his mouth when we bring the spoon towards his mouth when feeding him baby food, grab for his bottle, reach out to us when he wants to be held, reach out to others, respond to a couple of sign language cues like "up".

We are so proud of our little man! Pictures from Christmas and Hanukkah are coming.

Love to all!
