6 months

I can't even begin to describe how much I love this stage of Graham! 6 months is my favorite age so far. He's really learning to become more human like, and it is so fun to watch my baby grow into a little boy. New this month:

-Talking, talking, talking! He lays in his crib and just babbles to himself. He loves to yell to himself and hear how loud he can get. He says "Mama" and "Dada" and "Baba," although none intentionally.

-Discovery of the baby in the mirror; and he is madly in love. We have a full size mirror in the bathroom and he would be content to stand against it, stark naked, before his bath for hours.

-Love of solid foods. So far he loves sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash. We made a ton after we figured out that he would practically inhale them. I'm not usually a granola type, but I was so excited to make pure baby food for my little man:)

-Discovery of feet. He loves to grab them anytime he's on his back.

-Re-structuring of nap times. We started a scheduled wake up at 7:00 am, followed by a nap from 9-11, another from 1-3, and another from 5-6, with a bedtime of 7:30. This little boy does not function well without sleep.

-Giggles- not a ton, and not many for Mom and Dad- mostly other family members.

-Silly faces. The scrunched up nose, the raised eyebrows; it seems he has a sense of humor!

-Maybe teething? Drooling constantly still.

-Reaching for toys/people

-Sitting up

-Being interested in other kids and babies. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to Brox and Aunt Lynnie for a little while; I can tell he misses them!

He is quite literally the best, cutest, sweetest little man ever. He keeps getting better and better!
