Growing baby boy!

Growth: Kyson's 6 month check up told us he was 16 lbs, 10 ounces and 27 inches (or as I like to call is 2' 3") tall. His weight is slowing down some but his height is up there for his age. Food: He has slowly started enjoying rice cereal- but still doesn't eat a ton of it. Each week we are adding a new food- so this week's menu for Kyson will be rice cereal, green beans, and milk. Pretty exciting huh?! He makes the funniest faces with these new tastes and textures!

Teeth: He has two that emerged this past week... he was very cooperative to get a good shot!

"Open Wide"... he can't wait to see the dentist!

Mobility: He is not officially crawling yet- but he will scoot and pull himself about one knee's length. He can roll over from tummy to back and back to tummy, and maneuver/scoot 90 degrees (side to side) when he's on his belly. He seems to be fairly entertained to play with his toys and manuever around, so we are now at the "scramble to baby-proof" stage of parenthood.

Sitting all by himself

Fun: He loves to be tickled and is quite ticklish (his feet, legs, tummy, and under his arms)... it is so much fun hearing him laugh. Just the other night when I was just about to fall asleep I was thinking about his laugh and I could picture the sound of it- which totally made me smile. They say you can hear your baby's cry and recognize it after only hearing it once. Which I would say is true, especially if Ken takes him out of a meeting during church and is walking around with him. However, his laugh has taken a few dozen times to hear it before I began to recognize it... but it's just one of those neat motherhood things, you don't think about beforehand, that has been very fun to discover!
