6 Months Old

Moses turned 6 months last week. Hard to believe that it has already been six months! At his doctor's appt., he was 16 lbs (25th percentile) and 27 inches (70th percentile). It is so amazing how much he is growing and learning each day. He thinks he's big stuff sitting up by himself, eating cereal, and trying to stand up on his own. Teething is a continuous process! Moses is now working on his 6th tooth! Last week, Aaron & I noticed him grinding his teeth. It sounds horrible, but maybe it relieves some pain?

Here are a couple pictures of Moses with his friend Jack Blunier. Looks like they are having fun together. Lizzie watches Moses on Thursday mornings while mom attends a bible study (a baby-sitter for the baby-sitter? No wait. . . my mom doesn't need a baby-sitter. . .)

Mmmm! Cereal is Delish!

Tonight, Moses had his first taste of the delicious rice cereal! We decided to at least try solids before Moses has his 6th month well baby check-up on Wednesday. It went as well as it could. His first bite he pushed most of it out with his tongue. By the end, he may have swallowed a teaspoon or so! He'll get the hang of it sooner or later :-)

Even though Moses doesn't like us looking in his mouth, we are pretty sure his fourth tooth has broken through. Now he has the two front bottom teeth & two fangs, just in time to be a vampire for Halloween (or a scary bear).

He was more interested in chewing on the spoon and reaching for the bowl than he was in the actual food.
In the post-meal picture, you can see most of the cereal is on his bib!

Sitting Tall & Inch Worm

Here are a few pictures of Moses sitting up by himself, for the most part. He's still drooling quite a bit. His third tooth has come through. . . his poor gums!

Here are a couple videos of Moses. One is of his latest way to move. He doesn't use his hands/arms, just his knees, feet, and head :-) The second one is of Moses playing peek-a-boo with his dad.
