6 Months Old

I can't believe this cute little boy is 6 months old already!

He can sit up on his own, (though we don't ever put him on the table like this... He was just looking very dapper in his big boy clothes on Sunday so I shot a quick picture as we ran out the door) and he pushes up to his hands and knees and rocks back and forth... Sometimes onto his face. Poor little guy! He gurgles, smiles and laughs, and is just all around in a very cute stage. 

He started eating a little bit of solid food, and he likes baby oatmeal, tolerates apple sauce, and loves bananas and avocados. It will be fun to see what other foods he likes as he gets older. 

He loves it when people get down on his level and talk to him - especially his dad and siblings. He has a gigantic smile that he reserves for them.

He still loves to bounce in his jumperoo, and still likes to be swaddled at night and for naps.

He absolutely LOVES to play in the water. He doesn't even mind if it is cold, like at the splash park - he just splashes around, happy as can be.

He still doesn't care to be restrained - he hates the baby carrier, doesn't like the stroller unless he has something interesting to look at, doesn't like to sit on anyone's lap, and he doesn't like to sit in his high chair for any longer than necessary. But he does love to be carried around, and he is more than happy to roll around on the floor and play.

We are so glad to have this little boy in our family!
