Making sure he's fit to survive

[wayfaringwordhack]

With a big sis like Sprout, Junebug has to learn fast; he has to get mobile!

To that end, this has been a very busy month for him.  The day before we left France (Aug 29), he pushed up onto all fours.  He was moving about then, but only backwards, not having figured out how to advance.

Our first day back in Egyt, he pushed up onto hands and toes. He can take wee "steps" like that, but prefers "the wave." He has mastered an inchworm or seal-flop type motion and gets about really well, following me around the house.

On September 24th, our first day at Anafora, he pushed himself into a sitting position. The 25th he pulled himself onto his feet. He's been practicing every day. Sprout walked at 1 year and 10 days; I think her bro will beat to that milestone by several months if he keeps this up.

In other milestone news, he cut his first tooth today.

He'll be 7 months old in two days.

I mostly understood it that for a small child an adult might seem like a mighty wizard, whose actions cannot be copied by a mere child.

But seeing another child (even an older one) doing something makes the skill seem more approachable, something that CAN be learned by anyone.

I love your explanation--I especially love the parent as a mighty wizard, too awesome to imitate :-)

I concur!

Very apt analogy!
