E is 6 months old today at 5:18pm… I took this photo when he was exactly one week old.
Wowzer. They sure don’t spend much time being this tiny. Now here he is on his first half-birthday:
I miss when he was just a little peanut… But he is so cute these days, I can barely stand it.
Some of the things he likes to do at 6 months:
- Laughing – at “sneezing” (we’ve started to fake sneeze now that we’ve discovered he finds it hilarious), at belly tickles, at our faces in the mirror, and at one of his toys that makes really silly noises (check it out: this thing is amazing)
- Sitting up like a champ
- Showing zero interest in crawling
- Grabbing things, especially non-baby-friendly objects like cell phones and tissue boxes
- Not being in his car seat
- Singing – “Eensy, Weensy Spider” and “Pants on the Ground” are fun; J and I instituted the latter into his repertoire
- Reading – He even flips pages, albeit accidentally (or shuts the book when he decides we’re done)
- Not being in the snow
Happy 6-month birthday to little E. So happy I get to squish him and kiss him.
I can’t believe you stayed up late the night before a three-job day to prep a surprise blog post for E’s 6-month birthday and then got up early to take his monkey photo to edit and post before rushing out the door. You are the best Auntie ever.
