Skills

I love playing in my exersaucer... I could probably spend all day in it. Due to my great love of standing and jumping, I'm still not 100% with the sitting unassisted on a hard wood floor...but we're getting there. I'm not quite crawling, but almost... What I really love to do is have someone spot me while I'm standing (holding me under the arms for balance), and then walk... Mommy's not really excited about that, but Daddy thinks it's funny.

I really like eating - runs in the family i guess - so far peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, and carrots are big hits. Squash not so much - it seems to be the culprit in a super diaper rash that I had, so we're waiting before trying it again. Mommy got those dissolving puff finger foods (sweet potato flavor) - and while I enjoy practicing my pincher grasp to pick them up, I am not so impressed with the flavor. Soon we'll foray into fruit - Mommy has almost reached inspiration for making my baby food... almost...

Picture Catch-Up

Mommy felt guilty that she wasn't taking more pics of me... so here's a bunch for your enjoyment...





and then daddy took some "artistic" pictures...

Christmas

Even though I'm a baby, I managed to score a couple of special treats this Christmas...


A surprise visit from Paka...

Seein' as I'm a baby, I'm gettin' gipped in the picture department.

6 month Picture

Here are the outtakes...

GIANT FEET! - it's just the perspective, really :)


i'm done with this now...


haha...just kidding!



And the official 6 month picture...

6 Months

Today I am 6 months old. Woohoo! Bring on the peas.

I was very good at my visit today - only cried for a few seconds when I got my shots, and then got over it.

And now for the stats...

weight - 17 lbs 10.5 oz - 82%
height - 27 inches - 90%
head - 67% (yep, I have a skidmore, not a carr, head)

So...all in all, i'm evening out - not quite the amazonian I was at my last appointment :)

Otherwise, I'm in good health, and tomorrow, we start with peas. Woohoo!

Pic

The first thing to notice is that I really love being in the exersaucer... Here I am posing for daddy.

The second thing to notice are my awesome tights...which unforunately match absolutely nothing in my wardrobe. But who cares! My legs are little pink candy canes..haha.

The boppy's ok...





but I really love the exersaucer...
