We have a crawler!

It's amazing when I look back at these last 7.5 months from a tiny helpless baby to a crawling boy who is getting into everything! On June 30th N crawled on our bed but on the floor still just did his rocking on hands and knees. And then on the evening of July 1st he was in the living room and spotted me doing laundry. He was crying for me and I was planning on getting him very soon but was just trying to switch a load of laundry before putting him to bed. Well, I guess he got tired of waiting for me. "Mamamama," he cried and started crawling towards me. S saw him coming and alerted me. We were both amazed. I am pleased he is developing so quickly and well, sad the days of my little baby are gone, and nervous I won't be able to keep him safe! He does well in his Pack n Play playing with his toys. It's so funny because it looks like he's talking to them. Upstairs if we're both busy up there we'll (most likely my husband will) put him in the crib with some toys for awhile and he'll play up there as well. He also loves to sit in his Bumbo and watch a little movie on my Kindle Fire via Netflix streaming. I don't do that often. On Fourth of July my aunt told me about a little snack for babies called Mum-Mums that her day care charges like so we bought those for him on Saturday. I gave him one on Sunday. He took a bite and put the re!st in his toy bin. Ha ha! But then I gave him another one later and he ate almost the whole thing. He had some yesterday and today at day care too and loved them according to his teacher. She keeps telling me how he is not interested in his rice cereal. I just want to say, "See?" I did not want to give it to him but finally caved to the pressure. I want to do baby led weaning and rice cereal is decidedly not BLW but I was worried about him there all day barely eating. We stayed home Monday because I was sick again. Sigh. I threw up in the morning and felt nauseous so I stayed home. The Monday before I had to pick him up in the afternoon for throwing up (which I really think was nothing). I'm really using up my days which makes me nervous! I forget when this started but he growls. It is so funny. His teacher told me about it but he'd already been doing it awhile. He also is "talking" more and more, making noises that sound like words. Yesterday it sounded like he said, "Hey, you." S and I were cracking up!
