Sitting

Since his 6 month update my little man has been busy!

At his well baby visit he weighed 17 and 1/2 pounds, and was a little taller (there was some issue with the measurement). Since then he has gotten 2! bottom teeth, and one on the top will be here any day. He has also gotten great at sitting! He sat and ate a cracker today all by himself. I think he likes being able to sit up and see things and play with his toys...he gets really annoyed if I lay him down now!

6 months old!

I'm kind of in shock that my baby is 6 months old. It seems like his birth was so long ago, and that he's still so little all at the same time. He is such a sweet little guy, always smiling and moving.
He and I took at trip to California at the beginning of Christmas break to see my brother graduate(!). He was the best travel partner I could've asked for. Even after our terribly delayed flights and running through airports he was happy and smiling.


At 6 months he:
Has eaten in some very interesting places.
Is now eating a variety of foods: apples, squash, rice & oatmeal cereals, peas (that was a funny face!), sweet potatoes
Is very close to having teeth. I'm going to miss his big gummy grin.
Loves to bounce & is always in motion- if he is awake, he is moving.
Wears 6-12 or 9 month clothes & size 3 diapers. I can't wait to see how big he is on Monday at his check-up.
Is sitting on his own, though he still flops over or folds forward when he gets tired.
Loves to laugh at his big brother.
