Six Months: Abooooo!

Thank you all for your nice words for our anniversary. Days are long, but years are short, they say!!!!
**************

Delicious turned six months old this past Sunday--the day before our anniversary. We were down at the Homestead for the long weekend, and it was his first big trip. He slept well in his Pack n' Play the first night and just as well in the hotel-provided (CUTE) roll away crib the remaining nights.

Crankypants slept well after getting used to the crib at the Homestead. They say to provide baby with something that smells like home (either a blanket or soft toy). He's trying to soothe himself by eating his toy here.

He is getting so big. Yesterday we were at the pediatrician's office and he weighed in at almost 20 pounds. He's in the 75%-tile across the board (weight, height and head circumference). This month he rolled all the way over, loves to blow raspberries, is incredibly dexterous (has been trying to hold his bottle since he was three months old, and now can fully hold it on his own).  He refuses to sit in his tub, and stands up, holding on to the sides of his bucket and leans against its side. He loves to say "Aboo, aboo!" and does these funny barking sounds. 

Strong enough to hold the bottle on his own

For his 1/2 year birthday, we happened to spend a magnificent afternoon along the Jackson river, eating fresh trout and enjoying the beautiful view. I dipped his feet in the river and he slept under the trees. Not a bad way to celebrate, huh?

The good life: sleeping under the trees next to the river
