Six Months!

Our beautiful, big boy is six months old today!

Almost 28 inches tall, weighing in just shy of 18 lbs. 

It's amazing to see him make new developments, both physically & cognitively. They happen so quickly -- one day he doesn't do it, the next day he does. He's constantly moving & is very eager to be mobile. He sits up for short periods of time & just recently started to post on his hands & knees -- it won't be long before he's crawling! He loves faces, reaching out to touch the faces of family & strangers alike, especially other babies.

All of his growth to this point has been due solely to breast milk. Today was our first experiment with solids! He got a jump start on solids at his 6-month appointment today -- eating the paper on the exam table.  :) Tonight we tried avocado & he was not a fan. He mostly wanted to play with the plastic bowl & after a couple tastes he fell apart in tears, drooling out the weird green substance as best he could.

 We'll try again tomorrow!

I want to write more about all the fun things Blake is doing these days, but I'm so tired.
One thing he isn't doing, is sleeping in!
