7 Months

And now we are officially closer to 1 than to 0.

Yes, Holden turned 7 months last Friday, which among other things means he's been eating "solids" (or slightly less than liquid, more to be more accurate), for about a month now. And that is worth a post or two, because it has not exactly been my favorite parenting experience...but I digress... In terms of milestones, the boy is still not quite crawling, but is pulling up to his hands and knees, and he just recently started sitting on his own with confidence. And the big news, of course, is those two little bottom teeth that came in a week or two ago. Ah yes, for now we are enjoying a lovely break in the teething battle that has--and will--continue to make our guy miserable. Lots of other changes have been going on as well. For instance, he now exhibits preferences. For example, if you ask him "which book," he picks one! And he's starting to love toys that require solving a problem. Glimpses of the future toddler.
