Thankfully my baby is now having another beautiful growth spurt.  He is becoming pretty active and alert.  His crawling techniques are much more mature and he is finally even interested in sitting and standing.  He also took to saying some little words, like "mamama" and "dadada".  When my husband leaves the house he runs/creeps after him and waves and says: "ba".  He is still fragile but his four year old brother is also rather polite so this might be his nature.  I would now rate him on a seven and ten month old level.  I’m becoming positive that he’ll catch up eventually.

Thanks for all the support
