6 Months!

The last six months felt like the fastest six months ever. You are growing and changing incredibly fast! You are sleeping through the night more and more, which is oh soooo great for us. Of course there are still nights where you wake up frequently, but those happen less and less (hopefully I am not jinxing it!), usually when you are about to reach another milestone or are bothered by coughing, teething, etc.

You have been babbling a lot more too, especially in the mornings. After your breakfast, you lie in between us while we try to get a couple of more minutes of sleep and you just start talking, talking, and talking. It's pretty funny. Waking up to your stories is delightful.

You have started to hold the bottle all by yourself which seems like a major step to me. It already makes you less of a baby. I just can't believe how fast this is all happening.

Last weekend we started introducing solid foods. I know you have been ready for it for a while as you love to watch us eat. You eagerly accepted the banana and rice cereal. Hopefully you will be as passionate about good food as we are.

You are definitely starting to look more like a little boy and not just a baby anymore. We will have to wait for the measurements when we go to the doctor next week for your 6 month check up.

Of course you are taking everything in your mouth that you can get your hands on. Sometimes you even try to take a big bite off my face and neck! It's pretty funny.

You are also becoming much more mobile. You can turn in every direction and somehow move yourself from one end of the blanket to the other. People keep saying that we should enjoy this time before you can really move around and all we'll be doing is running behind you protecting you from dangerous corners and stairs.
