Tomorrow Elizabeth will be 7 months old.  Every month, I check out the milestone chart on www.babycenter.com.  According to this, Elizabeth should be sitting up on her own by now, which she can’t quite do yet.  By 7 months, she should be dragging objects toward herself, but she’s been doing that since 6 months.   Also since 6 months, she has also been passing an object fromhand to hand (should do by 8 months) and doing the pincer grasp (should do by 10 months).   The jabbering is constant and continuous day & sometimes at night (should do by 9 months).

Elizabeth is quite advanced on most things (according to the chart), but on the physical things, she is a bit behind.  I’m sure that’s because she was born so early and was so small.  That’s okay, the longer we have to wait before putting outlet covers throughout the house, the better. 

Also, poor Buster will have to learn to be whole lot quicker when she gets mobile.   The other day, Paul looked over to see Elizabeth holding Buster’s tongue and poor Buster sitting there looking at Paul, as if to be pleading for help.
