Adventures in Single Mommyhood: 6 months!!!

Stats:
Weight: 18 lbs, 1 oz
Height: 28 inches

Milestones:
-July 11th he started getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth. He's going to crawl soon!
-He started blowing raspberries with his tongue. Sometimes if you do it to him, he will do it back.
-He loves to "plank" and do downward dog type positions. It's pretty hilarious and cute
-He is SO full of such a fun personality. He loves drives, walks, standing on the porch in the sunshine, and playing inside with mommy and daddy.

This month little bear's personality came out even more. He's so mischievious and precious. He laughs often and makes us smile. He's ticklish under his armpits and on/ around his tummy. His little thighs are also ticklish. He cracks up when you pinch them.
He loves animals and dinosaurs and playing with mommy's wallet. He loves to grocery shop and is very interested in what's being put in the cart. He will often hold out a hand when you take something off the shelf to put in the cart because he wants to hold/ investigate it.
He loves Grandma Emily, doggies, his flower potato masher, soft blankets, pillows, carrots, bananas, kisses, and the tv show "Oobi". We don't watch it often, but if mama has to go to the bathroom and he's acting up, I put it on for him until I'm done.
He doesn't like loud sounds, and is terrified of those hand dryers in public bathrooms, as well as toilets.
So far he's tried prunes, rice cereal (which is something we will stop and continue when he's older), avocado, carrots, corn, bananas, red potatoes, brown potatoes, and green beans. This week we're trying butternut squash! The following week will be apples.
He recognizes his little baby spoons and knows that that means it's time to eat something. He gets very excited and happy about it and even smacks his lips in anticipation!

Here are some pictures from our month!

While in his bumbo one day, he figured out how to pull the laundry basket close enough to pull all the clean folded laundry out. Silly naughty baby!

Taking a break from being naughty to play with his little quiet book. He loves that thing! Thanks great gramma!

His 6 month picture! I can't believe my little one is half a year old already. Time has gone by so stinking fast. He's so big and happy. I love him. In this picture I tried something different. Not sure if you can tell, but he's sitting up in the picture! :)
