Our little guy is six months already! In so many ways, I was looking forward to this day, when he would be a little more independent and need me less. But now I can't believe how fast the time is flying!

And since I am a baby book failure, I will try to record his accomplishments here so when he asks, I can tell him to go read my blog! 🙂

So, he just started rolling around  a week or two ago. He won't stay on his mat now. I am sure he will be traveling across the room soon like Charlie used to do. That means more vigilant and more frequent vacuuming.

He is almost sitting on his own. Truth be told, this little guy gets held 99% of his life, so he doesn't get much chance to practice such skills. But he is a chubby guy so that helps give him balance.

I was sure he would cut teeth really early, again like Charlie, because he has been teething and drooling for two months. I can definitely feel the bumps in the gums now, but it could still be a while.

He loves his siblings and I think I have more hands-free time with him than any other baby, except maybe Regina who was content wherever I put her. Timmy puts him to sleep for his naps after I nurse him. It is a good deal for Timmy because he gets to play X-Box some of the time the baby sleeps.

He won't lie down anymore to be changed or bathed. He is always trying to sit up. He's going to have great abs. Maybe I should try it!

His hair is growing in and is more assuredly red! He and Clare will be quite a pair.

He is a giggly little guy and loves to be kissed. He doesn't spit up quite as much anymore so he and I both make it through most days without having to change clothes!

What more can I say? He is a doll and we thank God for his life!
