Casey was 7 months old yesterday. He's well on his way to becoming a genius, of course. He crawls--belly off the floor--and he's quick, like a cheetah. He's been pulling himself up to stand and has started letting go trying to stand on his own. He likes the sippy cup, but prefers chewing it & tossing it on the floor than actually drinking from it. The Nuby, I believe it's called, which has a straw that does not leak* is preferred for his water drinking needs. He's figured out how to pick up finger foods and now they usually make it into his mouth.

*the straw does in fact leak, as evidenced by the wet pants I had from said straw dripping onto them this afternoon.
