Dash has been doing really well with learning to hold himself in an upright position unsupported. He was using his hands to start but now can maintain his balance pretty well now without them. He does occasionally topple over (there were a few collisions with the floor...he doesn't quite know how to get his hands out to break the fall)...we have started putting the boppy cushion around him so he won't hit his head on the floor.
We had started solid food right after Dash turned five months. However, we took a bit of a break because he wasn't showing a ton of interest, as evidenced by his pushing the food back out with his tongue. Not much was getting swallowed. But we have revisited solids in the last 10 days and it turns out that Dash has been quite excited to try new foods (and his bib!). While rice and oat cereal haven't been huge hits, he has tried avocados, sweet potatoes, and peas and has gulped them down.
