Weight: 16 pounds 9 ounces
Length: 27 1/2 inches

• You can sit up all on your own! If distracted by your toys, toes, or other things to look at, you will slowly fall on your back or to the side. 
• You are trying very hard to crawl. It looks like more of an inch worm right now though. You have figured out how to get your knees up and under you, but instead of lifting your chest up off the ground, you just scoot your face into the floor until you get where you want to be....it's something we're working on! 
• You have started to make diaper changes and getting dressed very difficult because you can flip over within a second and don't stop trying to wiggle away the whole time we try to change you. 
• You are wearing 6 month clothes and have just moved into size 3 diapers. 
• You LOVE being in your exersaucer! Things you also love: being outside (even though it's still very hot out), reading books, your lovies, any music/light up toy, and your nighttime bath. 
• This month you started eating solid foods! We started with rice cereal and oatmeal, but you hated them both! After about a week of trying and eventually moving on to veggies, you now love to eat solid food.
• You have TEETH! Teething has not been fun for any of us, but you have 2 little bottom teeth that have come all the way through the gums. They are so cute, but really hurt when you bite down on our fingers. 
• You have started to become even more vocal...favorite word: MAMA!! It melts my heart every time you say it, which is now a lot, over and over! You make the sweetest little noises and giggles. Daddy can really get you laughing. You love it when he comes home everyday and makes you smile and laugh by making silly noises.

We cannot believe that 6 months have already flown by! Your first birthday will be here before we know it! The past 6 months have been the best months of our lives, we love watching you grow and discover the world around you. You are the sweetest little boy and we love you SO MUCH!
