I was going to wait until C's "Eighth Month Mark" post to discuss his crawling and climbing advancements. But his feats keep getting more daring and more astounding to us, so we had to share. He really started crawling about a month ago; it had appeared that he was on the cusp of crawling since mid-April, but he didn't seem to have any interest in actually doing it...walking is what all the really cool kids (B) do. But eventually he gave crawling a shot, and by the second day he was super-warp speed crawler, able to cross any room in the blink of an eye. And by the third day he had started walking along the furniture.
He still hasn't taken any steps away from the furniture, but he can go from the couch to the table, etc. Last night he was in the kitchen with J and tried reaching up to a ledge above his head. J thought this was good fun, and encouraged him to grab the ledge with both hands and helped him to pull himself up. C caught on very quickly and grabbed the counter, pulling himself up further. Then today I found him climbing B's dresser, using the knobs like a peg board, easily lifting himself up off of his toes! Wonder what he'll try tomorrow?
