in the blink of an eye....

Mister Cannon has been busy getting all independent on me lately. Check out his skillz:

He can sit up on his own quite well now. He still prefers to be lying down so he can roll around. He actually is not rolling as much as before, but is now spending a lot of time on his belly. He has been pivoting around and is even getting up on his hands and knees. His OT stopped by yesterday and was so excited by how much progress he has made in just a week. She thinks he will probably be crawling by the end of the month. I have no idea, but I do know that he gets this sparkle in his eye and you can just see how determined he is. Once he figures out what to do with his arms I think he will be moving in no time!

I have to admit that I LOVE this age. I just love watching him develop all these new skills. His personality is really starting to come out and he is so happy with himself when he does something new. He can also entertain himself for longer periods of time which is a big help. He is still quite fussy but I am hoping that has to do with the teething. Hopefully that will subside soon. (or just in time for the next tooth to begin to make an appearance, right?)
