Progress Report: 6 Months

I am 6 months old! As I predicted, there's a lot to tell you this month. So, Mommy helped me prepare a PowerPoint presentation to help you follow along.


Let's start with something that was brewing a month ago...
That's right, sitting up! I am a semi-pro sitter by now. I can't get into a sitting position by myself, but once I'm there, I only fall over once in a while. Like when a cat walks by and I *really* want to pull on his ear but he's just too far away. That's why Mommy still puts a pillow around me when I play......even though I really only need it when I feel like lounging.I even used my new booster seat when we went to Pop's last weekend with Opa and Uncle Butch.
This month has also brought some so-called "culinary adventures".
I am still not digging this whole "solid food" trip Mommy is on, but at least she gives me an extra spoon to play with when she puts me in my highchair. So far I have tried rice cereal, bananas, pears, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal. I like the taste of the pears and sweet potatoes OK but Mommy still has to sneak them into my mouth when I let my guard down. One day she gave me some frozen banana in a mesh feeder and I had a lot of fun squishing and licking it.
Now that I am sitting, there are a lot of new toys to play with! I figure them all out right away. Mommy is impressed with my superior aptitude. Here's a video of me playing with my gumball machine toy. Mommy only had to show me once how to push the lever.

I also like to play with my stacking rings and my little piano!

A few more to go...
This one is kind of self-explanatory. My favorite silly face this month involves scrunching my face up tight and breathing like a gorilla. No one knows where I came up with it, and I'm not telling.
I saved the biggest news for last.
OK, to be fair, you can't really see them yet (so there are no pictures), but yesterday Mommy felt my bottom teeth just starting to poke through! No wonder my chin is always full of drool.


I hope you found my presentation informative and enjoyable. Now, enjoy this bonus blooper video!
