Wow, the month of September flew by. It was a very busy time! So many things going on. I couldn't write to you about each one, so I guess I'll just do a month in review.
You have changed and learned a lot this month. At your six month appointment, you were 13 lbs, 10 ounces. Still the 5th percentile, but up two pounds in a month. Annette was so impressed by how strong you were and how well you rolled and moved. There was a student nurse in the room with her and she couldn't stop raving to her about you. I was so proud. You did have to get a few more vaccines this month and you took them like a champ. You cried a bit but got over them fast. All in all, a good appointment.
You are talking a ton now. Lots of noises that are starting to sound more and more like words. You day ma ma and da da. At first, we thought you were just making noise, but now you look right at daddy and say "da da." He loves it! You also move more on your own. You can get any where you want by rolling and you are very close to crawling. You are trying so hard to get going!
You really like to play now. You can sit on your own and love to be on the floor surrounded by toys. There is one toy that Abba gave you that you really love. Its got Sesame Street characters on it and it spins and makes a lot of noise. When it lands on Oscar it says "I love trash." You spin it and laugh. Most toys end up in your mouth. You are still working on getting some teeth, but nothing yet. You drool a ton, though. Some days I have to change your shirt because you get so soaked.
A few big things happened this month. Probably the most exciting is that you now have a baby cousin. Auntie Erin had a baby boy named Andrew. You haven't met him yet because he's been a little sick and had to stay some extra time in the hospital. He's home now, though and you'll meet him soon. Cousin Dillan is so happy to have a baby brother. You three are going to have tons of fun playing together!
We also went to Cousin Jake's christening and first birthday party this month. Daddy is his Godfather! It was a great day at their house. You spent a lot of time playing with Jake and his cousin Cameron. It was at this party that you really sat by yourself for the first time. You got pretty jealous, though, when Jake got his piece of cake. He put his face right in it and I could tell you wanted to dig in with him. Not yet, though!
You do still love to eat. By now, you have tried most of the fruits and veggies and the only thing you don't like is green beans. You get pretty excited at meal time and don't like to see anyone else eat unless you have something too. New treats this month have been puffs and zwieback toast. You do a really good job feeding yourself the toast, but you make a HUGE mess! In your hair, on your shirt, sometimes even in your eyes. Messy, but you love it. You have also started drinking a bit out of the sippy cup. You haven't mastered it yet, but you are getting close.
You are turning into such a big boy. You are learning so many new things and you are so much fun. Daddy and I love the time we spend with you and you make us smile everyday. Six months have gone by so fast and we have loved every minute of it!
