Actually, given his physical prowess, he's WAY closer to toddlerhood than newbornness. He started pulling up on stuff maybe a week ago. He still doesn't do it very expertly, but he sure is trying. (In the crib, he can get on one foot and one knee, but can't quite pull himself to standing. For lower things, he can get all the way up on both feet.) Considering how fast he went from getting up on all fours to crawling, I expect him to be cruising before he hits 8 months.
Today was also Dexter's first day of day care. He seems to have survived unscathed. As expected, he didn't nap well in the bright, loud room full of interesting new things and other babies and consequently fell asleep within 5 minutes of getting home. He was definitely not his regular old happy self when I picked him up. I hope he adjusts soon, because we can't leave him there if he's exhausted and has all of the joy sucked out of him. (We did get some good laughs tonight after his after-daycare-nap, so they didn't suck ALL of the joy out.)
Here are his "official" 7 month photos. Note how it is SO boring to just sit there and SO much more fun to play with the paper. (I am still having trouble narrowing these down. Sorry.)
Really, there's no contest when considering the Bear or Demonjello anymore. Thank goodness Tootsie got us this giant dog!
(This set of photos was also a study in motion. As always, click to view larger.)
Remember which one was taller when we planted the tree? (One assumes the tree grew a bit as well.)
Finally, some additional recent photos for your enjoyment:
