Saul turned seven months old today. And, I finally charged the battery in my camera yesterday so I was able to capture his day. Below are some picture highlights of our day's activities.
A few notes first:
(1) He is officially pulling himself up now - at least on the activity cube. He started tentatively last week and after a day with Grammie Barbara and Grandpa Tom, he is now demonstrating his skills at every opportunity. Of course, we have to counterbalance the activity cube so that he doesn't pull it over on himself. And then I look around the living room at all of the other items that are risks to his safety. It's a good thing he still can't crawl! We have a little more time to prepare ourselves.
(2) Saul demonstrated a preference to the pages in color in Goodnight Moon. We've been reading it consistently since he was tiny. Now, he helps me turn the pages. But, he turns quickly past the black and white pages and then we stop and look at all that is going on on the pages that are in color. It's quite fascinating how this transition happened. Just two nights ago he started reaching out and touching elements of the page. The kittens, the fireplace, the red balloon. Oh, the learning process is amazing!
(3) Saul likes swings and swinging. We went to the park two days in a row. It's really blustery out, but it's so beautiful we endure the chill. And, he gets to laugh and giggle while swinging. Such a happy little guy we have!
Here are the pictures:
The birthday chair!
Saul slowly goes into the splits. Ouch.
Swinging is fun - I can't see my hands or feel my toes, but I laugh anyway!
'T' is for 'touching toes!
The full scene - lot of playing and lounging going on!

I am in a bit of a state of shock that Saul is 7 months old. Holy toledo. If only he were a happier, more adjusted child by now... ; ) Seriously, what an amazing boy, with such amazing parents. You're all so lucky to have one another in your family! And I'm feeling very lucky to know you all. Happy 7th Saul!
