6 Months

What an amazing 6 months we have had with David Jr.  I can't believe he is this old, but at the same time I feel like he has been out in the world and apart of our family forever.  He is a very happy go lucky baby and smiles most of the time.  He is working very hard at sitting up and is quite stable until he tries to reach for an object or toy.  He is also very ready to move.  When on his tummy we can put our hands behind his feet and he will very happily push himself off and scoot around his quilt.  He does not really seem interested in rolling over and has only done it once or twice.

His favorite toys are some wobble sports balls, soft blocks, duplo pieces, a giraffe and elephant from his kick mat, and a rattle toy.  He also enjoys rolling a ball with his sister and interacting with her in any way that he can.  When in his exersaucer he will stop playing to watch her and/or Jake.  Jake has become more interested in David Jr and will now walk up to him while he is sitting on the floor or in his exersaucer.  Thankfully, he is a calm dog and doesn't mind David's "petting."

David has begun eating solid foods and so far has tried (and liked) peas, green beans, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, applesauce, and rice cereal (his least favorite).  He is eating a few tablespoons each day at lunch and dinner while we are all sitting together at the table.

David is currently wearing a size 3 diaper and moving into 9 month clothing due to length.  He has cute, full checks; however, the rest of him is quite lean.  No pudgy little rolls down his arms and legs at the moment, although he isn't mobile yet so there is still time.  His hair is starting to come in and is starting to look like some wild and out of control peach fuzz on the top of his head.  It appears to be very blonde, matching his bright blue eyes nicely.
