- Well, he's on the move! And he is busy. The crawling came about 1.5 weeks short of his 6 month mark and life just got a little more complicated. He's also in a pike/plank position a lot (raising up to his feet from his knees)...so guessing he's anxious to get walking too! Bottom line: he's not real into containment these days.

- His tongues out a lot. It takes concentration to move around and explore.

- We believe he is cutting teeth, so his hands are in his mouth a lot too.

- He's still a happy boy, but just wants to be down on the ground moving rather than held.

- Bedtime is anytime between 7-8 and he sleeps until about 6am. About 80% of the time, he then goes right back down until about 7:30.

- We've begun some solids. So far sweet potatoes, peas, banana, avacado, oatmeal, carrots. He's getting the hang of it and seems to enjoy the process.

- He loves his dog and if Sark is in sight, he's beelining it to him.

- He still loves his sister and they love to laugh together. A favorite sound is driving home from daycare with the kiddos in the back laughing the whole way home.
