As we near 6 months old, the days darken and the weather gets colder. Alex's milestones this month have included a lot of physical leaps, such as easily rolling over both ways, doing push-ups and airplanes on the ground, and short periods of self-supported sitting. Of course, along with the sitting have come some amusing tip-overs and some much less amusing knocks on the melon, but no real injuries so far.
Solids are the adventure of the month with bananas being a real hit and apples the next adventure tonight. He's not a big fan of spoons, but will be getting used to them soon. He now has cereal in nearly every bottle (oatmeal is the favorite) and is growing stronger. Many sounds come out of him at all times of day, and giggling is getting more frequent! Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming soon, and we think he'll like them. Here are a few fall and Halloween photos. As this time of year comes around, I have also enjoyed reflecting on last year, the pregnancy, and all of our favorite time of year (Sept-Dec). Enjoy the switch to Daylight Standard time today - we're certainly enjoying the extra hour of sleep!
