6 months

Our Samuel is 6 months old today!

Here are his photos from weeks 1-25 and below is this week's photo.



At six months, Sam:
  • loves walks and books more than anything else.  If he is upset, these things are sure to calm him down and if he is happy, they will just make him happier.
  • is also a big fan of chewing on things.  He's not particular.  Nom.  Nom.
  • likes to lay folded in half - with his feet up by his head.  And then he seems to think, "Hey! My feet!  Those look good for chewing!" Nom.  Nom.
  • is very easily distracted and seems to get full pretty quickly.  The result: a lot of unfinished bottles around our house.  Also, it is rather difficult to feed him because he is busy wiggling, kicking his legs and moving his head all around to see what's going on in the room.
  • still spits up quite a lot, but not as much as he used to.
  • only rolls in one direction (to the left) and only from his back to his tummy.
  • seems to reflexively chew the air as soon as you sit him in his high chair.
  • has had some tastes of banana, pear, a carrot, sweet potato and a pork chop.  I think that he has actually swallowed a total of about two bites, but he does seem to like to suck/chew on them.
  • enjoys watching Mabel and doesn't seem to mind her kisses.
  • is interested in our telephones and started to pay more attention to the people on the screen when we Skype with Nana Karen and Grandpa Mac or Auntie Pril and Uncle Jason.
  • is loved!
