At 6 months, we started introducing baby foods in addition to his formula.  He loved all kinds of foods, applesauce, rice cereal, peas, barley cereal and peaches.  He was drinking from and holding a sippy cup at 6 months.  He stared pushing up at 7 months, said “dada” for the first time at 7 months.  He recognized his name at 7 ½ months.   Started crawling at 8.5 months and wanted to explore everything he possibly could.  He loved his baby Einstein time – he had such a ball watching it.  He even wanted to try climbing up the stairs!  He sat up from lying down at 9 months, stood alone at 10 months, took first step at 11 months and stated walking by himself at 12 months.
