Six months old

Look at that tooth!

Of course, Kate had to tickle me right in the middle of my photo shoot.

6 month old birthday dinner: Bananas!

Today marks my 6 month birthday.  I have been here for half of my first year and I can't even believe it.  I guess it is true what they say: time does fly when you are having fun!!  This month I met several milestones.  The biggest news is that I am getting my very first tooth!  You can see it in my bottom gum in the picture and I love to bite on Mom and Dad's fingers whenever I can.  I am also learning how to eat by eating twice a day: about four jars in all!  I have quite an appetite, but mostly for the sweet things.  I do not like peas.  I will spit those back at Mom every single time she tries them out on me.  But I love all fruits and carrots and sweet potatoes.  She keeps telling me she is afraid I might turn orange if I don't expand my palate.   I also took my first dip in the pool this month and I loved it.  And I assure you that when I check back in with my 7 month milestones, crawling will be on the list.  Right now I can get up on my hands and knees and rock, rock, rock back and forth and I can scoot around to get whatever I want.  Cell phones and remote controls really get me moving.
