Now he's past his 9th month and fast approaching to become a big baby - toddler... While I enjoy his corresponding chats, I do miss his gugus & his gagas when he was just a wobbling little fellow.
He's past the wobbling stage and into the wriggly stage where he wriggles out of your arm whenever he's not comfortable or when he simply wants to get free.
I plucked this out of: http://www.babycenter.com/0_milestone-chart-7-to-12-months_1496587.bc
