Joshua is moving even more now. He gets on his knees amazingly quickly and then rocks back and forth, wiggling his little butt in the air. He's adorable. He's so close to crawling it's scary! He's gotten his first tooth and you can see where at least four more are ready to come through! No wonder he's teething so hard.
He's seven months old and is ahead of where everyone expected him to be. He's developing normally for his age -- in some things he's even ahead. Amazing for a child that had open heart surgery in June!

Six Month Visit
Joshua went to see his pediatrician for his six month visit. As usual he's doing great.
He is 16 pounds and 9 ounces, 26 1/4 inches long. He's 40% in weight, 35% in height, and 75% for head circumference. His heart sounds great according to the doctor, and his spider bite has healed wonderfully.
Aside from being rather upset over the three shots he had to get, Josh is doing perfectly.
And now that we've gotten that out of the way, here's a new picture of Josh and his big brother Andy:

Wrong Way
Joshua now gets on his hands knees for excessively short periods of time.
But instead of getting where he wants to go with his, he goes BACKwards. It's actually irritating him so much so that he squeaks and screams when he does it, so I'm sure he'll get it right way too soon!
He creeps and half-crawls, turns in circles, rolls EVERYWHERE, and grabs anything. He puts everything in his mouth -- except green beans and bananas. He hates both of them.
His poor tooth STILL has not come in yet, though he's desperately trying to force it through. So much for the doctor's saying "it's so close and it's ready to come through". That was two months ago!
Josh is doing wonderfully, and enjoying life to the fullest. And on this terrible day in history, I can't help but be even more thankful he's here.

Creep
That's what Joshua does now. He creeps, rolls over, wiggles, inches and does everything else you can use to describe his odd movements that are desperately close to becoming crawls. He's teething HARD, and eating a ton. He's playing more and more and sleeping less and less.
All in all, life is great. Joshua is perfectly healthy and is now off all medicines. We couldn't ask for more.
