Let's Start Here

Long time, no see
I know I'm way behind, so I'll get all y'all caught up with a series of posts over the next few days. We took a trip to Washington in mid-August, so this one will cover the pre-trip developments, and the trip and post-trip stuff will come soon.

So, Adam was getting a little more active - rolling around, pivoting on his ginormous belly, thinking that crawling would be great, if only he had the first clue how to do it. But at least he gets to grab stuff if he rolls a little too close:

Poor dog:

After his six month doctor's appointment, we got the thumbs-up to start him on solid foods. He likes this development:
He also started to sit up on his own before we left for Washington (to clarify, he remained sitting after we sat him up, not that he sat up on his own - though he's getting close to doing that these days). One day, he simply decided it would be nice to see the world from a different perspective, and he's preferred it ever since. As so many before us have done, we sit him in the boppy pillow for a little support and padding.
As you can see from the video, he likes that sitting up allows him to explore the world a little more thoroughly. He was pulling on that gym support for several minutes before I started recording, and he kept going after I stopped. He just thought tugging on that thing was the most interesting thing in his short life, I guess:
