Six Months

We can't believe it but Sam is six months old now!  We will have official stats at his doctors appointment in a few weeks.  We believe he will be around 17 pounds which makes him 2 pounds lighter than Josh was at six months.  Recently Sam started to babble and he now does it all the time.  He still scootches around, not quite crawling although he does get into a crawl position but he can't quite get his arms right to properly crawl.  He is very mobile and never where you leave him.  His sitting is getting better and he doesn't fall over as much.  He isn't quite stable but he is getting there.
We started feeding him more food in the last few weeks and he has been loving them!  Margaret made lots of baby foods and we have been sending them to daycare and he has been loving them.  We can tell he really wants to be eating more foods but we've been careful not to give him too much since he doesn't have any teeth and we want to watch for any allergic reactions.

We shifted Sam's bedtime earlier than Josh's, which means he has been waking up a bit earlier. He is too tired to stay up any later at night....so hopefully he will start sleeping in a bit more at some point. Otherwise, he sleeps well at night and is a pretty good napper :-)  He gets pretty distracted from napping or eating when Josh is around, so we have been trying to do a better job of taking him out of the room to feed him or make sure he has a quiet time for a nap.

Also in the last week he started sticking his tongue out, often when I stick my tongue out at him.  Just a reminder that you can only get away with some things when you are a baby :-P

Sam is still very easy going although his moving around does mean we have to watch him more closely.  He is quieter than Josh so have to pay extra attention to him or he will sneak away!

I guess we have to sit in the car seats now...

Ready for a run with mommy
