7 months

7 months marks a special time for my baby boy...
very first tooth broke through
learned to clap
learned to pull self up to anything and stand

I knew that tooth had been working it's way to the surface for some time now... like 2 months! And it finally popped through. Cash didn't seem to be phased by it though.
One day I just saw him clapping his hands together and so I encouraged it and shouted "YAY!" and he would laugh and do it some more. I often find him just playing on the floor and then he will drop his toy and start clapping. It is dang cute. But when he claps and we play with him and encourage that then he gets so excited and smiles so big. We all love it.
A week or two ago Cash started to go to the first step of the stairs. It isn't very tall and when he would stand his legs up he would still be bent over - so the weight and the balance was distributed over the legs and the arms. Well just a few days ago he started going to taller things and reaching upward and standing at them- such as the legs of the kitchen chairs or the couch or the bathtub. Unfortunately, he often can't stand for too long and when he lets go he bonks himself on something. He is still learning to ease himself down. He will get the hang of it soon though. Smart little bugger!
