So I came home from my workout with mom today, to find Colin NOT feeding Joseph. Specifically, Joseph lay on the playmat, holding his own bottle and drinking from it, while his dad was on the couch fidgeting with his new phone. Eeeee. (Colin's had him hold his own bottle, mostly, with help, but always in his lap before...)

He's also getting closer and closer to crawling, occasionally getting into push up position or being on hands and knees for half a second or so before one end gives out, and he can sometimes support himself for a minute or so while sitting (and for a few minutes at a time, I've only given him gentle pushes to keep[ him from tipping over, while he does most of the work. and he's getting closer to figuring out his stacking toys, though mostly to take apart. And he plays more and better on his own.

Milestones usually aren't instant changes, I knew that, but watching the steady progressions, the week to week changes that are smallish, sometimes subtle, are more awesome than I thought. (Mom, as a physiotherapist, says this is just the sort of thing that fascinates her, then admits she barely remembers this time with me or Jeff.)
