Mom, look what I can do!

Bed Head

This weekend, I finally started to allow P to cry himself back to sleep when he wakes up in the middle of the night. He has been a real champ, only waking up a few times and crying for less than 30 minutes. An added bonus is that I wake up to find this:

6 months already!?!?!

This past month, P has really come to enjoy his toes...

the Jumperoo...
smiling...

and smiling some more...

sitting up...

taking baths...

and climbing up the stairs.

P also enjoys putting things in his mouth (newspaper, mom's hair, cords, phones, the computer, you name it!), eating all the veggies he has tried (carrots, squash, green beans, peas, and sweet potatoes), pulling himself up on couches and people, exploring the house, playing with his favorite toys (including Sassy the horse, his monkey teether, and his doggie blanket), going for walks, looking at his favorite books (or, more accurately, EATING his favorite books), and generally being super cute.

P is NOT a fan of sitting still, sleeping through the night, and all the fruits he has tried (pears, peaches, prunes, applesauce, and bananas). This is the face he makes after eating fruit:

I have noticed recently that P makes what I like to call "crazy eyes".

What do you think? Doesn't he look a little crazy?

P has also become INCREDIBLY mobile this past month. We can't leave him alone for a second!

Like taking books from a baby...

At the doctor today, P weighed in at 17 lbs 7 oz (49th percentile), he is now 27 1/2 inches tall (85th percentile), and his head is 17 1/2 inches (70th percentile...his head is finally the right size for his body!) P was a real pro when he got his shots today...he cried for a second and then smiled through the pain, like any real man would.

Hoppy Easter!

A day at the park...
