Everett has been transforming before our eyes. He now sits in the shopping cart (thanks to the comfy cover from Miss Jen). I took him to Toys-R-Us and his head nearly exploded with all the things there to reach and grab and touch. He loved just going to the store - I didn't need to even buy any toys! But I did pick up a piano. I figured I'd put those banging hands to good use. He loves to play me his Emo-rock songs.
He clapped his hands for the first time. I was practically screaming, I was so excited. He was really kicking and splashing this week at swimming class. Next week he goes under so we'll see how long the participation lasts....
I have discovered that Everett likes to play with everything I recycle. His empty yogurt cups are his favorite, but that empty Kleenex box kept him quite busy. He cries when I take them away.
He will turn 7 months old this week. I am still struggling with the fact that I even had a baby and now that baby is 7 months old! He is really trying to communicate these days. He has been doing a lot of new sounds and a lot of new high pitched screaming. But the best was yesterday as we pulled into our driveway after story time, he just started laughing while in his carseat in the back of the car all by himself. He cracked up. I have no idea why, but it was absolutely precious.
