Learning new things, exploring

February, Magnus is 6.5 months old

After new years, Magnus started becoming more mobile. He started out hoisting himself up on his arms at first, and later he would push himself backwards, effectively sliding across the floor.

With moving, he also started to experience that his toys were moving away from him... at least they kept getting further and further away all the time. So he has started reaching for things around him. When he comes up short, he becomes very frustrated, and bangs his hands in the floor.

For some time, Magnus has been sitting a little bit with support, but during January, he took a leap in development and started to bend forwards from sitting position, and it fell naturally to reach for his own toes. One day he reached them! The first order of business was to try to eat them of course.

Eventhough he still only moves backwards, he sure can get around easily. He is now walking the footsteps of Dr.Livingstone and exploring the big unknowns where no white man has ever set foot. Everything needs to be checked out, but unfortunately, it is very easy to get stuck in furniture and corners when only moving backwards. After all, Magnus is not equipped with rear-view mirrors...

He takes a strong interest in computers already.

My backpack is particularly interesting. One day I observed him backing across the floor as usual, except he was towing the backpack after him.

Everything must be explored...

Hey - I can't get any further !!!

Magnus also has shown a strong interest in reading. Or rather... what he does with his reading material is not what I do to mine, and it might not be possible to read it again after Magnus has read it, so it is usually best to make sure he has one for himself to read, one which everybody else is finished with...
