Greyson had been inchworming for awhile. Next he started pulling in his knees and rocking back and forth on his hands and knees. Then he started turning over from that to a sitting position. But he couldn't stop there! A couple of weeks ago he started pulling up to a standing position on EVERYTHING - couches, chairs, toys, baskets, bathtubs, toilets, everything.... It is kinda scary.... I try to keep a good eye on him so that he doesn't lose his balance and bust his head open. But surprisingly he has really good balance and seems to know how to get back down to a sitting position safely. What is funny is that he was standing before he was officially crawling. He started officially crawling on his knees on Monday. Now he is getting the hang of it and there will be no stopping him soon! I'm wondering when he is going to realize that he can stand up and take a few steps.... I considering push him over a few times to keep him from walking so soon....
Incidently, Greyson has learned how to "kiss". I use the quotes because his kisses are more of mauling of the mouth than a kiss. But it is so cute! He grabs your cheeks and pulls you in and then plants this huge open-mouth kiss either on your cheek or mouth. Your first reaciton is "Gross!" but then you remember that it is your 7 month old baby and just revel in it. Greyson got the chance to practice on Madelyn's baby the other day. He very much enjoyed it! Watch out girls!
As stated in an earlier post, both Ben's and my parents were in town a couple weekends ago. Both of our dads have mustaches. Greyson was so enthralled! He couldn't figure out what it was! It was very funny.

Oh good, all of that walking practice in Sunday school (when you THOUGHT he was learning about Jesus) has paid off! ;-) Just kidding.
Somehow those boys just learn better with their whole bodies engaged in the process--not that there aren't some girls the same way. Thankfully our son has had teachers who can handle this! Enjoy the ride!
