Well done Ottilie! Wish I'd managed to capture Alex standing on his own but didn't have much time to!

Isaiah has started standing up unassisted from sitting down. Slowly working towards walking!

 

[SarahBear]

She has figured out how to get on top of the box being used as a barrier, but hasn't figured out how to get down.

 

[BabyDragon]

7 months, she has crawled across the room, and has now been pulling herself up to stand!

 

[lily28]

Last 2-3 days now he can pull himself standing while holding my hands for a few moments! He is such a strong baby!

Today, LO pulled my shirt down in public nice breastfeeding milestone, haha! he was frustrated we were out a little late and he wanted to eat!

He also climbed ON TOP of the coffee table for the first time...eek! (And caught him standing on the dog trying to climb onto the sofa before I could grab him!)

Holly has started saying 'oh wow!' as she hears me say this when I show her exciting things.

It comes out as 'ohhhh bwow!' and is the sweetest thing ever!

for Sofia, it's still all about the talking:

- says "oh oh" when she drops something on the floor.
- says "ello" and "hi" when she sees ppl on top of waving at them
- sings the tunes to "Old McDonald had a farm" song FML!! lol!
- says "aakeeyoo" (thank you) when we give her something
- says "book" when she wants her books or just crawls to her room and pulls them outta the book case and starts "reading" she prefers her books to all her toys

She has also learned to pet dogs/cats slowly instead of slapping the poor creatures on the head! And she has been taking a couple of steps finally unassisted, wondering how long till she walks confidently....

There's probably more but she does something new every day at this stage and it's hard to keep track.

Not a great milestone but Micah had his first full on tantrum today! He's had strops before but this was major, he did not want to go in the buggy, I managed to tempt him in with a banana but when the banana was finished he started to full on scream until he was nearly sick, thrashed around in the buggy signing finished over and over and pulling at the bar to get out, all the while screaming this blood curdling scream that went on for 35 minutes straight! I tried getting him out at one point (big mistake) but couldn't carry him the 45 minutes home and it was too far, too busy a road and it'd take too long for him to walk,. He eventually wore himself out and fell into a fitful sleep, you know the one with the sobbing breaths? He was so exhausted I lifted him into his cot when we got home and he didn't even wake up!
I'm dreading the terrible twos if he is like this at 11 months!!

Logan now says 'rid it' when he passes me a book
'bumbabee' whilst pointing at the laptop when he wants his bumblebee video on

He's also gone from saying 'og' (dog) to 'doggy' which we caught on video!

Its just usual babbling at the beginning, he has a new sound where he combines 'G' and 'L' to make sounds like 'oggly boggle' etc. then he hears the dog next door bark and says 'doggy' and gets up to point at it

He's also learnt how to fake a fall, he plops onto his bum and then kinda does a slow roll and says 'upsss' (oopsy daisy) or 'feh dowww' (fell down) or 'oop geh' (up you get) which are all things i say when he falls

 

[AngelofTroy]

Micah pretends to brush his hair now when you ask him to or if he picks up a brush or comb. And he 'talks' into his toy phones and copies my phone conversation intonations.

A few days ago Imogen learned to roll! Then a few days later learned to go forward a little in her walker! Yesterday she learned to,hold on with her legs while I carry her, and started blowing raspberries again which she seemed to have forgotten, and today she said "mumma" and "bubba" a few times, which is the closest I've ever known her to bet to babbling before that it was all ear-wrenchimg shrieks and "gooooooo" busy week for baba

 

[Jadie]

Fin has started to watch his hands as he grabs his toys dangling on his play gym so so proud!

 

[charlie15]

Sophia is now cruising oh and for the 1st time this week she has shown that she really understands some things, she gave me her spoon when I asked and stopped and turned away from a hot radiator when I said not to go there along with this are several mini tantrums a day though!

 

[CaptainMummy]

Ellas cord fell off... thats a milestone, right?

 

[Bevziibubble]

Today Holly has learnt to kick a ball! For ages she would only throw a ball but she will now kick - and she has a very strong kick on her!

Also she was copying me saying 'ta' for thanks, although it comes out 'da!' She looked so proud of herself!

 

[baileybubs]

My LG has suddenly managed to roll from her back to her belly, she gave up trying for a few weeks but the last few days all of a sudden it's all she's done! She still can't figure out to get her arm out from under herself once she's rolled though!

She's also now standing with me holding her hands really well.

And I have noticed that she knows what her bottle is now and that it means she will stop being hungry as she stops crying when she sees it and reaches for it!!

She seems to be doing so much all at once!

 

[DaisyAnne]

Matthew learned how to push a ball to me today- then he learned to play fetch with the dog!

 

[minties]

Sophie now says "mmm, num num num" when eating something she likes. It's so cute! I don't see it as words, but she's copying me saying it, so I guess it's a sort of start to language.
