7 months - the accursed month is behind us

Here we are with yet another month flown by and our junior has over the past month gained more of mobility and developed his personality further. Sitting upright is by now totally normal just as well as crawling backwards, whereas the latter is sometimes frustrating as object of desire usually move further away and sometime Jakob gets stuck underneath a sofa, chair or table. Even though stability and balance are far from fully developed the little one tries to stand up and jump whenever possible (i.e. whenever someone to hold on to is available) and has already surprised us by standing up in his bed.

I'll eat whatever i can grab!

We have also made the friends with Jakob’s own personality which makes certain things like changing clothes or diapers as well as feeding more cumbersome as there are many things our son wants to do instead. Luckily one or the other trick still works and we are hoping that this will remain the case for a while. The changeover to the buggy albeit persistent winter weather was the probably our best decision in the past months as walking our son now is clearly more easy due to the fact that he now enjoys being in the pushchair while being awake. Finally we can clock up miles big time!
