Other new things you can do at almost 6 month of age (boy does time fly…)

1 - You crawl on your tummy. Mommy calls to you and claps her hands to get your attention and you come towards her "step by step" pushing mostly with your right leg.
From now on it is clear that you are mobile and the only issue is speed. Now you are at maybe 1 meter per minute…but you will only get faster. Your tummy crawling becomes stronger and faster each day. Today (May 24th, 2008) you reached for the cables of the computer for the first time! Mommy is going to have to start making the apartment child safe ASAP!

2 - You pulled the string of your music box in your pen again. I guess this is also becoming a stronger impression that you will repeat more often in time.

3 – You show clearly that you are not satisfied when things do not go your way. Calling when you cannot reach a toy (it's always worth trying to get help before actually crawling to get it…) is a staple by now. This week you added crying when mommy leaves the room you are in to your arsenal of dissatisfaction. The reward of course is the clear signs of happiness you display when mommy returns (smiles, laughing, waving your arms towards mommy and kicking about with your legs – your whole body in happy motion).

4 – You can clearly tell mommy apart from other people and react to mommy with smiles the fastest. By now daddy gets smiles too, but it always takes a bit longer. You like people in general and smile a lot to everyone. This week you showed a bit of fear when seeing your grandma Nurit for the first time after two weeks absence.

All these things are a sign that you are developing and growing! And oops, half a year has gone by…Yeppeee!
