Knees and bum

Jem is going to be 7 months old in a couple of days, and I don't know where the time has gone. He is just such an adorable snuggly boy...also quite stubborn and not at all shy about voicing his displeasure about things.
He's reached the next level on his way to crawling - getting up on his knees and rocking. This is sooner than UV did this (she was content, and still is, to have us fetch things for her). Jem wants to get places! In other news:
Yesterday I was trying to set up a tricky photo-shoot for a client involving small and expensive pieces of jewellery. Oma was cleaning up the breakfast dishes. Violet was wandering around between us trying to get us to smell her hand. We kept shooing her away, trying to finish up our tasks, but eventually Oma had to ask what her hand smelled like. "Like bum!" she announced.
