Six months! Holy cow...

Well, let me start by saying that this little boy is getting around everywhere now. He started crawling right at six months, right after we got back from visiting Krista and her family. He gets around quickly too, especially if there is something he wants. I have had to start moving things around and unplugging things like the lamp on the end table, so it doesn't end up on his head. Just the other day he made it though the entire family room and around the kitchen island several times. I love it, for now. When he gets better I will probably be wishing he would stay in one place. He is sitting up too, he doesn't perform this function as well as he crawls, but I figure that he would rather crawl than sit.

Since Isaac is crawling around, he obviously needs his own things to get into. He has a small collection of baby toys. Small things that make noise or have bright colors. I like watching him touch these things. He likes to find other things that have different textures too. He pats them to see what noise they make, then of course he likes to find out how they taste.

He is eating so well too. I often give him a taste of whatever we are eating. He mashes it around then makes this piggy noise when he really likes something. I recently found the pouch baby food products, the ones that you either squeeze or suck on. They are great for on the go and he seems to like those too. And did you know that they make something similar to Cheetos for babies... They are fabulous. He likes to feed himself those, as well as puffs and the freeze dried yogurt things.

He is a smart baby. He definitely knows who mom and dad are now. It makes me happy to see him want me when he is in someone else's arms. I love him so much and am so excited to see him to continue to grow.
