6 Months Old!

Isaac is now 6 months old!!

Today is his "half birthday."

Updates on the kiddo:

* Weighs 19 lbs. 6 oz. (My guess is that he had just eaten when I tried weighing him awhile ago, lol) and is 28 inches long! Both measurements are in the 90th percentile for his age and his head circumference is in the 75%. He cried his little head off when the nurse placed him on the cold weight scale.

* "Talking" up a storm and even "sung" when ever he heard the organ music at church on Sunday. It was too cute.

* Loves to look at other babies and kids. He smiles and laughs at them.

* Kissed Josh a few times this weekend! He put his puckered little lips right on Josh's cheek... no kisses for mommy yet. :(

* Working on sitting up more by himself. He balances by putting his hands down in front of him. When he reachs for a toy, he usually flops over.

* Becoming very, very curious and just wants to grab anything and everything... to touch it, eat it, etc.

* Tasted rice cereal for the first time this morning. He wasn't really a fan (I'll share a video sometime soon)... and so, (shhh, don't tell his doctor. He wants us to do plain rice cereal for like ever until other foods) I added some "no sugar added" applesauce. My theory is that he's already had applesauce quite a few times. I've let him taste it when I've been eating a bowl. If I had started him on solids at 4 months, he'd be having two or more jars of baby food a day by now. Anyway, he liked the spruced up cereal a lot better... he even used his hands to guide the spoon towards his mouth. I was surprised that he didn't eat very much, though. I'll make sure to not mix up so much next time.

Enjoy the pictures!!

Guess where our little stinkaroo likes to nap these days? In his stroller, not his crib. The doctor doesn't seem worried at all about his lack of naps. It seems that his daughters were even worse. He says we should be thrilled that Isaac is sleeping 8-9 hours a night!
Dr. M said it looks like Isaac will be built like Josh... and they were pondering what football position he'd play. ;)
Sittin' up like a big boy!
"Um. Did you know there's another baby in here with us?"

"I'm ready mom! Bring on the cereal!"
"Oooooh."
"Yummmy!" This was after I added the apples. LOL
What a cutie pie!
