carter brian,
wow! time has FLOWN! i know that people ALWAYS say that, but it really is true. we're going to be celebrating your first holidays before we know it, and then your first birthday not long after that!
sometimes i just sit and hold you because i know that very soon, you'll be crawling and NEVER WANT TO BE HELD! but there is one moment that i'm looking forward to...when you crawl to mommy because you want me to hold you!
okay...enough with the sappy stuff...on to the update.
you are...
...officially wearing six month clothes (you weighed 14lbs 4 oz on your 6 month bday!!)
...sitting UNASSISTED for about a minute before toppling over
...quite the inquisitive little guy
...using what mommy and daddy are calling "intentional rolling" as your means of locomotion
...occassionally pushing up into "crawl position"
...willing to practice walking with mommy
...eating 30-36 oz per day! we'll be starting solids VERY SOON!! :)
...sleeping (and napping) well, with only an occasional talk fest between 4 and 5 am
...babbling "mah mah" and "bah bah" but we're still working on "dah dah"
...and...
...L.O.V.I.N.G jumping in your jumperoo!!
................................
there are (at least) three things currently that make you laugh/smile consistently:
(1) holding a wet washcloth over your belly during bath time and squeezing water on your belly.
(2) "upside down baby" - being picked up by your legs so your head dangles.
(3) playing with paper--especially the shiny paper that comes on junk mail day!
.....................................
some other favorites from the month:
(possibly daddy's favorite picture of you. EVER.)
