6 months

This cute little boy was six months old a few weeks ago and just had his shots yesterday. Here are his current stats:

Height: 28.5 inches
Weight: 20 lbs 7 oz

Things he is doing:
Sitting up like a champ! I am actually liking that he can sit and play with his toys for 5 minutes or so before he realizes that I'm not right there by him. :)
Eating lots of vegetables and fruits
Grabbing at anything he can get his hands on!
Transferring toys between his hands
Swinging his arms everywhere! If you aren't careful than he will whack you in the face.
Scooting backwards
Getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth
Saying " Da, da" "Ga, ga" and "Ba, ba"
Rolling over and all over the place
Reaching for toys that are far away and doing all he can to get to them
Having the sweetest and most unique grunt laugh!
Getting his arms and legs over the bumper in his crib (Time to take them out I guess:)
Eating books
Flirting with anyone who will look at him

Foods he has tried:
Sweet Potato, squash, green beans, carrots, peas, mango, apple, banana, banana yogurt and prunes. We still have some more fruits to try but the doctor told us to limit his new foods to every 5 days, so next up are peaches and pears!

He's a pound and a half away and a half inch from the weight and height limit for his car seat so we are hoping that Black Friday will bring some good deals on convertible car seats! His 9 month clothes fit him perfectly so I'm doing my best to stock up on 12 month clothes in the next couple of months. Maybe he will start to even out on the height and weight gain like people have told me. I hope that is true so that I don't have to keep on buying new clothes every month.

Things that he loves:
Going for stroller rides
Looking at the dogs
EATING! (If you couldn't tell:)
Playing with his toys
Being the center of attention
Reaching for everyone's food (He almost pulled a pan off of the stove (it wasn't hot) tonight... had the handle in his hand)
Playing with cousins
Charming his grandparents
Standing on our laps or next to the couch

We love this kid and he is growing so fast! Adam is such a good "baby daddy" and I'm grateful for the special relationship they are forming.

Holy crap! Where did the last 6 months go! We clearly don't see one another enough. He is just adorable!
