I'm 6 Months Old Now!

Hey guys,

Well, after reviewing my last post I have a couple of updates. I am sitting up totally independently now. I can reach for my toys and not fall over. I'd rather sit than lay down on my tummy or back. The only bad part is when Joey comes and pushes me over because he thinks I want tummy time!

I'm still not digging the baby food. On a good meal I will eat around 1.5 tablespoons of food, which is good, but that doesn't happen all of the time. I have also been waking up about every two hours for the past few nights. Mom has tried Tylenol since my teeth might be coming in, but that doesn't seem to help. I can usually get mom to cave in and let me sleep with her after I've woken her up a couple of times. Hopefully this stages passes soon, I want to get a good night's sleep too!! I have been taking good naps though, usually 3 a day for about an hour each time. I think Joey likes playing with mom while I sleep too!

I also said that I probably weigh around 19.5 lbs now...well, Mom weighed me at home last week and I'm just slightly over 21 lbs!! Holy chunky monkey!!! I'm a big boy=). I have my appointment with Dr. Barb on Monday, we'll see what I weigh there.

Here is some proof of my fatness...The other day I was sitting on the floor without my shirt on. From the front my belt line is sucked an inch or two back into my belly fat. As you can see from the rear view, my pants are where they belong!

I have also started "talking" a lot. My brother, Joey, likes to tell mom what I am trying to say. Unfortunately he is really goofy and usually has no clue what I am really trying to tell them! The other day he told mom that I was talking about Rachael Ray and that I am too little to watch that show! I really only like milk, so why would I care about a cooking show!? Crazy boy. I think that he's the one with a crush on her. He thinks every time there is cooking on TV we are going to be seeing her!!!

The other day we went to the park again. The weather has been really cool and perfect for playing outside. I got to swing some more. Joey even sat beside me on the big red swing. I love to ride and usually laugh for most of the time. I hope that we can get a swing set as soon as we get our yard back together. It would be nice to swing while Joey runs around the back yard.

Today Bruce is here with his diggers to fix the dirt in our yard, daddy is bringing his backhoe to do some drainage work on the ponds, and Justin is hauling in big rocks for some areas around the banks. I guess that the yard project is suddenly under-way!

I'll keep you updated on things around here!!

Love,

Moxon
