7 months old, today

Reuben is 7 months old today! We have had some fun developments and firsts over the last month

1. Reuben has learned to scream really loud when he wants attention--channeling a Raptor like Aunt Angi suggested?
2. Reuben's Mom received her first call home regarding this newly discovered skill, "Hi this is Annie, Reuben's teacher, I need to talk to you about his behavior"

3. He has learned to raise his arms when he wants to be held, Dad worked hard on teaching this skill and it's great, unless he does it while crying when we are trying to leave him at baby school
4. Reuben's Dad gets to pick Reuben up in the early afternoon everyday, which allows for all sorts of shenanigans and new skill lessons

5. Reuben has learned how to spit-out food to the dogs when they are circling under his chair (hum, how does dad and new skill lessons fit into this equation?)
6. Reuben has gone back to the pacifier, he refused one from months 4 through 6 and then found his old friend, again

7. Reuben is a rolly polly and is on the verge for crawling, we think
