We have a crawler! Noah took his first official "crawl" on his 6 month birthday (10/7) but it's only been the past week that he's really used it to get from point A to point B. I think he's been fully capable of it for a while but he just didn't realize it was a useful accomplishment! He still doesn't seem to grasp that it's the most efficient way to get places and he still ends up going backwards sometimes but he does it often enough and for long enough now that I know he's mastered the actual skill. I think the funniest part is that he often will be on his hands and knees and he'll pick up one or the other hand and he constantly pushes himself up on one or both legs. He's been going from hands & knees to sitting for a while and he seems like he's going to be pulling himself to stand very quickly. He already does when holding on to my hands as he tries to get to me, so I feel like it's only a matter of time before he realizes he can do it to get to other things.
He's also doing well eating food now. His favorite foods are oranges (he gnaws and sucks on them peel and all!), snap pea crisps and string cheese. He doesn't seem interested in noodles or eggs. Oh, and we tried lemon just to get that classic "baby-eating-a-lemon" face and he LOVED it. Didn't even make a face! In fact, he cried when we took it away! haha
