6 Months

I can hardly believe that our baby is already 6 months old. The official stats are: 16 lbs and 26 inches. He is such an easy going little guy; his current favorite activities include playing with his toys, reading books, and jumping in the jumperoo (oh, and pulling hair). Hearing the "i love you, a bushel and a peck..." song always brings a smile to his face and he's loving the 'real' food that he's recently begun to experiment with (he REALLY wants to feed himself). He talks and giggles all of the time and we've discovered that his underarms and thighs are ticklish. He's fascinated by Belle and we're working on the whole concept of being gentle. He has perfected a combination of ninja rolls and scooting to get anywhere he wants to go and he is always on the move, which makes diaper time extra awesome. He has recently experienced the nursery at church for the first time (did great) and he's really enjoying interaction with other kiddos, especially his cousins.
What a blessing this sweet, sweet boy is.
