Here are a few things that he has done since the blog started
7 Months – 16th July
We had his 7 month plunked visit last week. He weighs 9kg and is 71.5cm tall. At this age Emily was 10.37kg (yes a lot bigger) and 73cm tall. Declan has grown so much in the last few months. He was on the 50th percentile for weight and 75th for height. Now he is on about the 75th for weight and 91st for height.
4th July
Declan rolled for the first time from his back to his tummy.
8th July
Declan is rolling a lot from his tummy to back but can't roll back. He gets so frustrated that he puts both arms out to the side, head face down on the floor and cries - It really resembles a tantrum!
9th July
We think Declan has mastered the art of sitting today.
10th July
After a lot of frustration Declan has figured out how to roll back from his tummy, making for a much happier boy!
20th July
Declan has learnt how to clap his hands. He is very happy with himself, especially when he makes the actual "clap" sound.
24th July
We found today that our little boy no longer has a gummy smile (not that you can quite tell) but he has cut his first tooth.
25th July
I took some photos today of Declan and even though I knew he had red hair, I couldn't believe how red it really did look until I had a look at the photos!
28th July
We Found a 2nd tooth today
Early August
Declan now sits in the bath and Emily joins him again. It is such fun times.
20th ish of August
Declan is now rocking on all fours. I wonder how long it will be until he actually crawls. He can go backwards but still hasn't mastered the art of going forward
11th September
Tooth number 3 has arrived. It is a top tooth but it isn't a front one.
Declan can definitely crawl backwards anywhere and has been for a while. He can also go from crawling to sitting and back again. He is trying to pull up on the log basket and trying to pull wood out of it. Tonight he started pulling himself up on the side of the bath.
