A day with the Jones': Reaching milestones early

Reaching milestones early

SLOW down baby Gray. He is in a hurry to grow up. I want my baby to stay a baby but he has bigger plans. This llittle guy is already CRAWLING! He started rolling and army crawling at 5 months...REALLY. And now he is full on crawling. He figured this out just before turning 7 months old and now he has got it down. FULL ON knees and hands crawling. It is so cute. He is still a little bambi like. A little tipsy and clumsy but he knows how to do it and LOVES to practice his new found freedom. He just turned 7 months old 10 days ago and perfected the skill of crawling about 3 days ago. Time to get the stair gate out, here comes trouble.
A few other things he began early are:
drinking from a glass at 5 months
Teething not just 2 teeth but 6 all coming at once
rolling over and moving
seperation anxiety 6 months
1 thing i WISH he would have figured out early is sleeping ALL night. I am partly to blame, his ear infections too,but I would LOVE to sleep all night long. Any tips anyone has I would love to hear.

Christy {The Girl Who Ate Everything} said...: That is so early to be crawling. I think Brock was like 14 months before he crawled. He is so cute. He looks like Easton in that picture. Hope you are doing okay with the move and everything.; September 15, 2009 at 6:28 AM
Becky Lewis said...: Oh My goodness, what a cute little man you have there. We have been transferring our VHS tapes to DVD because we have so many with the kids and we were watching Autumn at 5 months turn over! Let him crawl allot because that is suppose to be good brain cell activity - reading skills and if Autumn is testimony of this he will be WONDERFUL!; September 15, 2009 at 5:09 PM

Cute things my kids say

EASTON: woke up in middle of night saying his legs hurt. 10 minutes later he said "Mom my legs don't hurt they are better, they stopped beeping". I think they were asleep and he called it "beeping"
We went to great grandma Cloteels whom Easton ADORES! He was following her around the house and as they went downstairs he said to her " come on grandma, you can do it, be careful-don't fall, you can come all by yourself!" Once they made it to the bottom he proclaimed "Good Job grandma Clo you did all by yourself!!."
Garet is in Ohio at a show and Easton really wanted him. He came up to me and said in a sweet sad/whining voice "Mom I want daddy. I need him soo much." I said I know he will be home on Monday. Easton said "Monday? I need him. I need to hug him and hold him, kiss him and love him, mom. I neeeeed my dadddy." It was soo precious. He misses him soo much.
BARBAQUE EASTON SAYS "BARBACUTE"
Came home from feeding and working with Garet and said 'Mommy the elk tripped on me." Meaning: an elk ran him into the ground, no injuries just a few small scrapes and a face full of dirt.
I told Easton I had a delicious treat for him he said "REALLY! Oh thanks, thanks so much sweet heart" He continued to call me sweet heart the entire morning. 5/27/08

MASON: "DADADADADADADA" and shakes his little noggin back and forth in a no no no motion.
Pushes his little lips together like a pucker or kissy lips, eyes closed tightly and blows. It is soo cute.
He also screams at the top of his lungs if he thinks Easton is too close and invading his personal space. He loves him from a distance.
Bursts instantly into a screaming cry, with tears streaming down his tight little cheeks, the minute he looses sight of me. The moment I return it STOPS, all at once, and he flashes a HUGE smile and giggle. Priceless!
STICKS HIS CUTE LITTLE TOUNGUE OUT LIKE A SPEAR AND BITES ON IT. HE IS WORKING ON GETTING HIS TOP TEETH IN.
Loves to laugh! He will laugh at you if you laugh, or just laugh at you to get your attention. It is soo cute.
