6 months

Seth has been 6 months for over a week now and I know that I said that last month was filled with the most changes so far, but I changed my mind...this one is!! Gone are the days when I could put him down and come back after a minute in the kitchen and find him in the exact spot and position in which I left him. He is a little rolly-poly! I can roll over both ways and also turn spin himself around on his tummy or on his back. He can even pull his play mat over on himself.

His newest facination is with his feet. When he is on his back he grabs his feet the first chance he can get! Once we caught him sucking his big toe while Spencer was trying to change him! All the rolling and foot grabbing make changing his diaper pretty fun....like trying to contain a floppy fish out of water!

Feeding time with our little wiggler is especially fun, its like trying to hit a moving target (as my mom says)! He's got quite the appetite and will eat anything we give him (well any baby food that is). He's still taking a bottle or half a bottle at every meal and also baby food too, usually followed by a little bit of water from his sippy cup! I will say that pears are his favorite and green beans his least favorite, but he still eats them but just shivers and makes a funny face after every bite!

He's still a good sleeper and only wakes up once at night to feed! We removed all the blankets and stuff that were hanging from his crib because he started to pull them off and onto himself (see pic at the bottom)! Its also exciting to see what kind of position he gets himself into after a nap or in the morning after he wakes up (there's a pic of one of these times). I have also retired the swing due to the fact that he almost rolled right out of it by lifting his feet over his head! Luckily I was standing right there to catch him!

He's getting much better at sitting for longer periods of time, but eventually he either face plants(see pic) or crashes backwards. But he would rather try to stand (with our help) than sit any day! He loves to be outside any chance he can get...which is good for mom too, especially with our daily walks (and soon to be jogging with our new jogging stroller!)

But I think that his little voice is the thing that has changed the most. His cry and his whiny voice seemed to have changed overnight. It sounds more raspy and a lot less like a tiny baby.

Our little boy is growing way too fast! Our monthly birthday picture (this was accomplished by saying many times, 'seth look at mommy' and followed by me making funny faces and noises)
uh-oh! face plant on the couch (he was ok)

sucking his big toe!

And this is what we came in to find one morning!
