A Milestone Check in

Okay ladies. This post is going to get braggy so please don't take anything to heart. I just hate the conversations where people brag about a milestone reached and other mommies feel like they are being compared. So this post is for everyone to brag about the different milestones their LO has reached.

We are talking about rolling, sitting assisted, sitting unassisted, sitting up on their own, and all that jazz 

So tell us how old LO is and his/her accomplishments

  • Bryce is rolling over both ways, scootching (if that's even a real word), and sitting up mostly unassisted (but he randomly topples, not sure if it's his big noggin weighing him down or what)

  • E can crawl backward and scoot in every direction, still won't eat solids which is getting on my nerves, but he totally has said his first word: Mama

    He's been saying it consistently for about a week but I didn't believe he knew what it meant and my H kept saying "he's saying it he's saying it!" but I didn't believe it counted but yesterday he said it perfectly (not mamamamama, just mama) several times when looking and reaching for me and then he was downstairs with H and I was upstairs and he started fussing just a little bit so I walked downstairs and as soon as he saw me he reached out and said "MAMA" so yeah, it totally counts.  We're gonna record it tonight :D

  • Maddie just started crawling yesterday at 6 1/2 months! Since she made 5 months, she was doing the belly/army crawl. Yesterday, she just got up and went for it. She can also go from belly to sitting, and back to belly again.

  • Paige rolls both ways, sits up on her own, crawls, pulls up, walks assisted, and she says DADA.

    She also knows how to work the surround sound and tv remote.

  • Lane has been sitting on his own since 5 months. He has been crawling for over a month. He is now pulling himself up on everything in sight. Yesterday he used a chest to hold on to and walked all the way around it and reached over to the couch and then used that to make his way across the room. He is also eating everything in sight. There is nothing that this boy won't eat. He is growing up way to fast!

  • LO is 7 months.  She's been rolling both ways since 3 months, she sits on her own, scoots like crazy, gets up on her hands and knees and rocks - so close to crawling!  She moved her knees forward a little bit twice.  She reaches for people now, sometimes gives kisses and hugs and JUST started babbling (yayayayayaya and gagagagaga).  She doesn't mimick me yet.

  • Fun!  We have a tooth, which isn't a milestone, but a big deal for us.  Two days ago he started real crawling, but has since decided his inch-worm method works better I guess.  He crawls for long distances across the living room, but inches everywhere else.  He can get himself into a sitting position easily now, but it still freaks me out everytime I walk into his room and he's sitting in his crib! :)  He's trying to pull up on things and has made it up a few times, but usually gets about halfway before looking around and plopping back down.  Thank goodness!  I'm not ready for that just yet! Oh, and tomorrow marks SEVEN MONTHS!  Aaah!  How did that happen??

  • My lazy kid is almost sitting unassisted, but he would much rather lay back and lounge. When he does decide to sit, he can reach and return to sitting without falling over. He hasn't gotten the idea of scooting yet, but waves his arms and legs like crazy when he's on his belly. He's a champ at eating solids and has something like 25-30 foods in his repertoire. No words yet, but he's working on teeth 4 - 6, which makes him look like a little vampire.

    His new thing is giving kisses back when you kiss him first. Uncoodinated, open mouth, wet kisses, but at least he goes for the cheek and not the lips. Yes

  • My LO can sit unassisted, get on his hands and knees (should crawl any day now!), goes from belly to sitting position, can pull up (if he's holding our fingers or I put a diaper box infront of him and he'll pull up on his own) and has 2 teeth! Smile He's way ahead of the game compared to my first son. He watches big brother all the time so he's learning quick!
  • Evie is 8 days shy of 7 months.  She sits, crawls- just this week she decided that army crawling was to slow, so she's developed a crawling techinique using her feet, she lookes like a leaping frog, and as of July 1st she can pull herself up to standing.  She's trying very hard to cruise, but the concept of walking is still a little much.  She loves to stomp her feet.  Pretty much she can get to anywhere in the house and grab whatever she pleases.  Its a bit of a nightmare.

    She also has 2 teeth, hates veggies but loves fruits, squash, and sweet potatoes.  She blabbers constantly.  Her favorite phrase is "dadadadadadada blah!"  andn she only seems to say Mamamama when she's crying.  I keep trying to convince DH that her first word is "yeah!" because she has managed to say it in context several timesm he's not buying it.

    Oh, and last night I got her to giggle soley because I was.  It's like pulling teeth to get this girl to laugh, so when I was able to get her to keep it up for 3 minutes it was a record!  Alas, she has throaty creepy kind of giggle.

  • Jackson can take food out of his mouth and feed the dog.  He can move his arms and legs at the same time in the swimming pool...so it looks like he is swimming, but I am holding him.  He can carry on conversations forever with no one in particular. He can pay attention to Baby Einstein for about 10 minutes.  When I say "GET IT" he can grab his sippy cup and put it to his mouth (but hasn't mastered tipping it back).  He sleeps great!  He can sit assisted and unassisted (for a bit before toppling over), army schooch, roll across the floor and spins on his belly.

  • fun!

    Anthony can roll both ways.

    He has been sitting unassisted for well over a month.

    He loves to walk assisted.

    He can stand holding onto something & can pull himself up from sitting to standing by holding onto my arms.

    And he just crawled for the first time  the other day! He'd much rather walk around than crawl, though.

    He has a good pincher grasp & is working on his hand to mouth coordination. 

    eta- oh yeah & he loves giving kisses, too! and reaches for MH & me.

  • Courtney will be 7 months on Sunday. She is rolling all over and has begun  to army crawl. Everyday she is  getting up on all fours and rocking more and more.It amazes me how much better she is doing with this each day.

    She is sitting up with  assistance, but probably not even close to sitting  unassisted.

    She is sleep completely through night 10-12 hours, she is eating well, although not taking to the solids as well as I had thought. She seems to enjoy oatmeal better then rice cereal, and hasn't completely rejected any fruits or veggies yet, but loses interest in eating. She also really enjoys baby MumMum crackers. 

     

    Court, also has her two bottom middle teeth, which came at 5 and half months and it is now looking like the top 2 middle are working their way down too. 

     I was getting a little nervous this past week, because she wasn't eating as well as she normally does, she was not cranky nor did she have a temperature, but I think it comes down to her new found interest in being on the floor playing and not in our arms Sad  the reality she is growing up!

  • We've got the rolling both ways, and sitting unassisted (if we sit him up), but no scooting or sitting on his own yet.  He does solids pretty well, but seems mostly uninterested.  He's getting his FIRST tooth, though, and I think that makes him off kilter...

  • Annabelle will be 7 months next week.  She is currently working on crawling - the early stages, that is.  We went to Gymboree yesterday and she immediately popped up onto her knees for the first time after seeing other babies crawl. It was so cool!  Since then, she has been getting up and rocking for a few seconds, then she falls back to her belly.

    She has been sitting unassisted for about a month and a half now?  Something like that. She has gotten really good in the last couple weeks at playing with toys with both hands while sitting (without falling over, like really keeping her balance).

    And rolling and scooting all over the place. I call her the most mobile non-crawling baby I've ever seen, lol. 

    She wants to pull up onto furniture, but isn't strong enough yet.  She's definitely interested though.

    She feeds herself puffs a little better now - she still gets more on her lap than in her mouth though, lol.

    E can crawl backward and scoot in every direction, still won't eat solids which is getting on my nerves, but he totally has said his first word: Mama

     Ava is the same way.  Love her, but it drives me crazy I can't get her to eat solids.  She was doing good with apples but the last couple days when I try to feed her she keeps sticking her tounge out and blowing raspberries.

    For milestones, she sat up for the first time on her own last night.  I had her in her crib, she was taking a little rest.  I heard her wake up and went in to check on her and she was sitting up.  She is just about ready to start crawling too. She has been practicing the last couple months and I can tell she is just about there.

  • He rolls from belly to back on occasion and has rolled back to belly a few times. I really think the kid just couldn't care less about rolling.

    He sits pretty well unassisted if we place him in a sitting position and can reach without toppling most of the time.

    He scoots around a ton on his belly and seems to want to push himself up on his arms and knees, but hasn't really grasped it yet.

    He's doing great with grabbing and hand/mouth coordination. 

    He's on a solid strike right now because the poor baby has been sick with a throat infection (possible strep) so we assume his throat hurts to much to want the food. But when he was eating solids, he was loving them. Only a few foods right now, his sickiness threw us off. 

    No teeth, no words, but my favorite milestone (which isn't really a real milestone, but I love it) is that he has started to hug!!

  • griffins 7 months on monday.

    he can roll both ways and sits well on his own (rarely topples over).  the way he flails his legs and does baby push ups makes me think hes trying to crawl.  he can stand up when i hold onto his hips but i think hes too heavy to stand/take steps assisted.  from a lying (on his back) position, he can pull himself up if he holds my fingers. 

  • Penelope will be 7 months tomorrow.  (ack!)  

    She rolls over both ways, can do that break-dancing style thing where she pivots all around on her belly which has resulted in my mom losing her once (she was just under the coffee table haha), she can sit on her own but only if we put her there, she can bend over to grab things and go back to sitting no problem, she's starting to rock forward on her knees from leaning forward too so probably crawling soon, she eats like a champ, she can pull herself up on things if they are sturdy, and she can hold and eat an otter pop with 2 hands.  

    Yay for our December babies!  They are all doing so great!!

  • 2 mo -- rolled front to back. 4 mo -- rolled back to front. Now he always rolls back to front...doesn't really like hanging out on his back. 

    5 mo -- sitting unassisted, but really unreliably. Still sits unassisted but usually wants to try to move so he'll topple in order to get to his belly/all fours most of the time. Needs to have his attention focused on something to stay sitting, and when he does he can do it for minutes.

    6 mo -- sort of crawling. He's in perfect position and even raises the limbs in opposition, but after a "step" or two he likes to just flop on his belly and inch forward because it gets him to his goal a bit more efficiently.

    can pick things up and pass them...might even be able to do some pincher grip stuff though I'm less certain of that. I don't know when his fine motor skills got good because I was so focused on watching his crawling progress...haha.

    Does not recognize his name, and doesn't have much in terms of language sounds. Mostly vowels still. And the "raspberry" sound.

    Lots of smiles and laughs.

  • B is a rolling fiend. I can't leave her anywhere anymore since she rolls across a room. She's started scootching too, though she effectively only moves backwards rather than forwards as she clearly intends.

    We've been working on the sitting unassisted and she can sit for almost 5 minutes at a time now.

  • Jonny will be 8 months old in a week (ahh!!!)

    He rolls like crazy. Gets up on all fours and rocks, takes about two "crawls" forward and then belly flops. He spins and scoots - so he gets where he wants to go. He sits like a champ. Goes from sitting to crawling position. 

    He eats like crazy and will eat anything you give him. We can no longer eat in front of him or he'll get whiny and want food too. We give him finger foods to play/eat with while we eat our meals now.

  • DS is 6.5 months. He has been sitting unassisted for awhile now. He can push up on all fours and rock, and he can scoot on his belly, but he hasn't put all the motions together yet for crawling. He babbles and is already defiant...he says "dadadada" and I say, "no, it's mamamama" and he smiles and says "dadadada."

  • my little man is crawling,his first words are bababa,he hugs, gives kisses,holds his own bottles @ times and can even maneuver his spoon and aim spoon right into his own mouth.he is currently at a cross between walking and crawling.he has been sitting up on his own for a while now too.he rolls around and is pretty much very mobile. He has become quiet a busy body,but I love every minute of it.

  • Nora is 7 months old and is currently:

    * Sitting unassisted

    * Getting up on hands and knees, and pushing all the way up to straight legs, too!

    * Going from hands and knees/belly to sitting up

    * Rolling both ways

    * Scooting, wiggling and army crawling like crazy (I keep thinking she'll be crawling for real any day now)

    The sitting up from crawling thing is her newest milestone (last couple of days) and she is now working on pulling up to standing. Yikes!

  • E is 6 days away from 7 months.  Yikes.  She just started crawling about a week ago - it's not a traditional crawl, as she brings her feet forward rather than her knees.  It's pretty funny to watch.  The same weekend she started crawling, she started pulling up.  She will cruise a little bit, but only toward one of the dogs (not toward mama or daddy).  She also started babbling (dadada and lalala), but since she doesn't say it to the right person, we haven't counted it yet.  Still no teeth.

  • Sophie is 7 mos- she is rolling both ways, sitting unassisted, and just starting to push up onto her knees to maybe crawl (altho I really wish she'd stay put a while longer!)  She is also really into standing up (with support) and I suspect she will be pulling herself up in no time.  She does great with all spoonfed solids and has even stolen big brothers sippy cup and knows how to use it!  She signs for more and all done and we are working on Mama and Dada and please and thank you.

  • We have some talented babies on here!

    Isaac can roll over both ways and sits up unassisted really well.  He puts everything in his mouth (what baby doesn't).  He says dadadada all the time.  He reaches for me if someone else is holding him, and he gives the BEST hugs ever!

     

     

  • Wow I feel like B is behind! Huh? He just started rolling consistently about 3 weeks ago from back to belly. He rolled belly to back around 3 months like 2 times and then couldn't be bothered with it anymore. He actually tolerates tummy time now, but isn't anywhere close to crawling (I don't think)...he doesn't scoot either way yet or sit up by himself, but he can assisted.

    He does STTN though and has since 1 week old ...that's right, I know you hate me! Yes

    Ari crawls and is starting to pull himself up to stand. He has a really short temper and will throw a tantrum if he can't get up right away.
    He likes to knock things over as well. (He'll crawl to the tall laundry basket that's in our kitchen and push it until it falls and freaks out if it is too heavy to push over)
    He goes from crawling to sitting back to crawling
    and now he HATES being strapped down. It's a fight to get him into the highchair/booster/carseat/swing and tries to climb out or arch so that he can't be tied down. I put away the bouncer because I was afraid that he would tip it over and he climbed out of the bumbo on our trip.
