6 Months... Really?

Our "little" man is officially 6 months old today! I can't believe it has already been 1/2 a year! I knew he was growing out of the baby stage but I'm not ready for my little baby boy to start being a little boy to start moving around and growing up so fast.

This month alone he has accomplished so many things. He started solids. He was not a fan of rice cereal but gobbles all of his veggies up. His favorite so far is avocados and sweet potatoes. He just got his first fruit, bananas, and loved them. (I'm the mean mom who makes their kids try all of the veggies before introducing fruit!) He got a little upset when they were all gone. Our little piggy :) He even started drinking out of a sippie cup which he loves!!! He has also grown out of his little bathtub and was moved to a blowup bath chair to sit in (remember we are in Japan and there is not many options). He seems to love sitting in the chair and playing with his toys. He is rolling all over and is trying his hardest to start to crawl. He can pull his knees up but his arms aren't strong enough to hold his body up yet. So in the meantime, he just lays on his belly and kicks his legs and waves his arms as fast as he can. He looks like he is swimming on land! Too cute!!! He is still a little too top heavy for sitting still but hopefully he will conquer that task this next month. He has figured out how to push the buttons on his favorite toys to make them sing and light up. He can hold a ball and move it around. He thinks his sister is hilarious and loves to watch everything she does. I hope he doesn't learn how to be a crazy climber from her :) He is a big big talker and at times I think he can be a little louder than his sister. This worries Daddy a little bit... he was hoping to have one quiet child to hang out with :) He is starting to stay awake more during the day but continues to sleep through the night, unswaddled (finally)!!!

But even though he is growing so fast he is still the most happy, smiliest boy who gets excited when he sees his family and loves to laugh! We just love him to pieces :)
