As soon as Gage turned 6 months he started doing a lot of cool new things: * sitting up on his own * laughing and smiling ALOT * babbling words * blowing bubbles( with his spit) * turning toward you when you call his name * splashing in the bath tub * scooting around (trying hard to crawl) * ISR (infant swimming resource) swim lessons
Gage is a natural on the boat :)
Here is a picture of Gage on his 5th day of ISR. He goes every day Monday-Friday for 1 month for a 10 minute secession. By the completion, he will be able to turn from face down to his back and be able to float. We believe this is important since we are always by the water/pool/boat. Plus we need him on the family lobster team by next August...
In the last month Gage: -started smiling and laughing a lot more -is learning to eat from a spoon (bananas, cereal) -holds his pacifier and trys to put it back in his mouth -reaches for toys,blankets,pacifier in his reach -trying to hold his bottle (he will also pull it out of his mouth and then push it back in)
We weren't there very long, but heres a few pictures :) he loves to be outdoors and loves the sound of the beach (he sleeps with a noise maker that sounds like crashing waves).
There will be many more beach days in Gage's future..
