month six

Today my big boy is six months old! I can hardly believe it, and yet, I can. We slogged through those first three months and they felt like forever. The last three have been substantially better. This month has been CRAZY in terms of developmental milestones. Boyfriend has gotten BUSY!

Here's the haps from month 5:

Learned to sit up all by himself:

Started crawling (he's still not full on crawling; instead, he will crawl four or five steps, then plop down on his belly and start army crawling on his elbows to his destiniation, like a very determined lizard). But no matter, he makes good time- he can cross a room in a matter of seconds. Very impressive!

Cut his first two teeth (bottom middle) at 5 months, 3 weeks. Still have only seen glimpses of said teeth; he's not a fan of opening his mouth wide. The dentist is going to be loads of fun with this kid.

Pulled himself to a standing position, twice! (no documentation, you'll just have to believe me).

Had his first metro ride (rode backwards and tried to grab the girl's ponytail in front of us. I didn't let him touch a thing and wiped him down from top to bottom afterwards. Metro germs, ugh!)

Saw the Capitol for the first time (didn't seem very impressed):

Got his diaper changed in public by his DAD for the first time (HA! This one is my favorite):

Celebrated his Grammy's birthday.

Finally discovered that hanging out with Uncle Jeff is not all that it's cracked up to be (half of Bethesda's female population can attest to this).

Started thinking deeeeeep thoughts.

Happy sixth month birthday little man!
