26 Weeks

I'm not sure if Justace is developing at the right speed or not. It seems like some milestones he reached so early and then others he's almost 6 months old and still not there yet. He's not sitting up yet. He's not crawling although he seems like he's really trying to. He doesn't respond to his name. He does scoot around the room and he does grab toys by himself now. I can leave him on the floor with toys and he'll take what he wants on his own and play with it. And he talks a ton. He barely lets me get a word in. I figure I'll give it a few more months and see. He should be sitting and crawling and stuff by 8 months for sure right?

I left Justace with Shay and her baby yesterday while Josh and I went out to eat for my birthday. I think it would do Justace a world of good to be around other babies more and learn he's not the only being in the universe. Shay said there was some jealousy issues between the two but I think once or twice a week I'm going to start going over there and hanging out with them. First, because I need more girl friends and I like Shay and second I think it would be good for both babies. Maybe Mackaya will even teach Justace to crawl. I think between hanging out with other babies and library story time and church that is enough activities for him to hopefully be around others. I'm a little afraid of him getting spoiled. Plus, if I get this job like I hope we plan on putting him in daycare which will also help I think.
