April 30: Six-month Birthday!

Today is Will's six-month Birthday. We didn't do a cake or balloons or anything but Will played all day with Mom and then had sweet potato puree for dessert after dinner. We're going to celebrate this six-month milestone with Grammy and Grampa next weekend.

Will has a "floating" bottom tooth that cut through his gums and then disappeared below them again. He's able to sit without our help for up to 10-15 seconds without wobbling and for minutes at a time if something is behind him. He can scoot backwards when he's on his tummy (he backs himself up under the bookshelf and his dresser). And he's still sleeping 6-8 hours per night.

Will still loves tubby time and now he's learned to enjoy splashing. He's also enjoying mashed bananas, avocados and sweet potatoes - sometimes on the spoon, sometimes in his hand. Patti is trying to teach Will some basic signs for "milk," "more" and "eat."















Here's our little nipple-grabbing, Pterodactyl-sounding, karate-kicking six-month-old (that's a lot of hypthens!). Enjoy!
