6 Months Old!

Our sweet Gavin is 6 months old!  He has a wonderful personality and is such a joy!  We sang Happy Birthday to him at 5:24pm and received a beautiful smile and giggle in return!

~Our "little boy" isn't so little!  He fits comfortably into 12 month clothes, especially shirts due to his long torso
~He's a very proficient sitter and enjoys looking around his environment
~We've started to introduce foods.  Gavin loves his food and is a fairly neat eater! We introduced rice cereal first.  Based on smelly gas, we suspected that it gave him an upset belly.  Next, we introduced oatmeal, which he seemed to digest a bit easier.  He's also had squash and loved every bite!
~Gavin is quite grabby!  He'll go for anything within reach!
~His favorite song is "The Wheels on the Bus"  It's almost guaranteed to result in a smile and giggle!
~Gavin takes two naps a day, ~9:00am and ~1:00pm.  Naps are normally between 1-2 hours.  If he doesn't fall asleep when nursing, he does a great job of putting himself to sleep in his bed.  He has been waking up once a night again.  He usually goes back to sleep easily after eating.
~He hasn't rolled over yet, but is starting to show some interest in reaching for toys out of range while on his back
~Gavin does well during tummy time, but wants to be entertained while exercising
~We love his smiles and giggles!
~Gavin is a talker!  He babbles frequently, using a variety of sounds, pitches, and volumes.  He even babbles something very similar to "Ma!"
