Happy .5!



Every mom says it, I know, I know. But where DID the time go? He's growing and learning so fast! I'm pretty sure he's already smarter than me. I'm a puppet! He's found his voice and, at times, uses it in context. Like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH give me what I want now." And then I do. He cannot sit in my lap anymore when I eat or work because in fractions of milliseconds he can snag anything from the table and get it in his mouth. He is still mesmerized by his brother and sister. Ashley can tough out his painful hair and face pulling but Blake steers clear. On his 6 month birthday he was trying to sit up a little bit but mostly just scooting and rolling around. A short week later, he sat up on his own and crawled all in the same day! So today he's been sitting up for a week and his quality of life has improved 10 fold. He still smiles & laughs easily. He still thinks he is very handsome when he sees himself in the mirror. When I hold him on my hip, he grasps me with his arms and feet, much like a monkey. He is being EXTREMELY difficult on the cereal/solid foods front. So not interested. It is killing me! Now I'm supposed to be feeding him solids three times a day and that is just three times a day I get really frustrated. I feel like a circus clown pulling out all of my best tricks to a stone cold audience. He does giggle at me but he's gotten good at keeping his mouth fairly closed through his giggle. Little punk.


Fun with Rosie.
