Jimi is now a lean, mean (well actually pretty sweet), crawling 7 month machine!

Jimi went from just barely being able to crawl to getting anywhere he wanted very fast. It was amazing to watch the transition in just a matter of hours. He still does a combo of army crawling on his belly and crawling up on all four. So far he is most interested in crawling towards Penny or any of her toys. We're very fortunate (and surprised) that she is being very patient with him.
We've also started giving Jimi a few finger foods (Gerber yogurt melts and puffs are delicious) to let him get practice feeding himself. He loves it! He also loves drinking out of cup. He hasn't quite gotten the hang of using a sippy cup though, he just chews on the mouth piece.

His little personality has been coming out more and more. He is quite the little ham and loves to laugh. Jimi has been "talking" since he was just a few weeks old, but now he's really making different sounds and "words". He most commonly makes different 'b' sounds when he's happy and 'ma' sounds when he's upset. I think his first word may be 'Hi' because he frequently tries to imitate that. Speaking of which, we're working on teaching him to wave hi and bye. He's done it a few times but doesn't really seem to understand why he's doing it.
