Hello, I'm new here, and appologise if this has been done to death in the past, but I didn't see much.

DS7mo appears to be moderately ahead of himself. He's ahead on all the major milestones, but is quite far behind on some wierd things (eg. still doesn't shake a rattle), and is average emotionally/maturity-wise (except in degree, he's a bit intense).

Wether or not the aheadishness persists, right now I need ways to keep him interested. His father is going back to a programming job, and I will need to manage long days with him soon. He follows simple commands without trouble, cruises, attends to things like "look, that leaf is also yellow," but he's not walking independantly, or handing things back much. He very much likes trains and large vehicles, and things that are being moved by wind. He also likes numbers a lot.

What did/do people do with theirs at around the half-year mark?

Thanks! (& appologies for posting without lurking much first)
