Why is that Mommy feels she has to write a blog after every doctor’s visit? Well, Mommy guesses it is because she can report some stats. Stats show growth and progress and that is what Ronin is doing: growing and progressing. He now weighs 18.8 lbs and is 26 inches tall with a 46 cm head.
He is growing and progressing and he also wants to start going. Unfortunately, for him (but fortuntately, for mommy and daddy) he can’t crawl yet. He is not one to be left on his tummy. Mommy guesses she didn’t let Ronin have enough tummy time when he was younger because once he is on his tummy he isn’t on his tummy for too long. He will just roll over on his back and then he is usually crying out for Mommy or Daddy to pick him up and sit him up.
He is starting to scoot on his butt if he wants to get to something. Yet, if someone is around he is more likely to cry to have someone get that something for him. He is a bit spoiled in that Mommy and Daddy can’t let him cry too long before they hand it to him.
He is also spoiled in the fact that Mommy and Daddy will carry him around wherever he wants to go. He definitely vocalizes where he wants to go by crying out and sticking his hand to whatever direction he wants to lead you. If you are not going in the right direction he will start squeezing his legs or kicking his legs in protest. Mommy and Daddy are getting a workout just carrying him around from room to room and object to object. The little man gets bored quickly, trust me.
He will walk though, when assisted. He will walk when Mommy and Daddy are holding his hands. His Daddy just recently saw him take a few steps with his musical walker.

Mommy was jealous that she wasn’t there to see it because when Daddy tried to recreate the moment, Ronin just let the musical walker lead him while his legs didn’t follow. He would just be leaning forward at the waist holding on to the moving walker and laughing while it pulls him to a more horizontal position. It was a sight to see. It was proof that Ronin will not let the “not crawling” thing slow him down. Soon enough he will be on the move and running right after him will be Mommy and Daddy.
