1/2 year already?!?!?

I can not believe that my little boy is half a year old already. He has finally conquered the ability to sit on his own which is now what he totally prefers over being on his back or his belly. It's amazing to me how quickly everything goes... just a few days ago we were sitting close by and he would sit on his own, wobble and then tip over as we would reach out to catch him. Now he sits there on his own for minutes on end, still wobbly but not falling over! He likes to sit and reach for toys, play with toys...and giggle.

He has been trying all sorts of new foods. Zucchini, broccoli, sweet potatoes, avocado, prunes. We're going to try to make our own baby food so I've got to spend some time finding things to make and how to make them... but we've started with buying a food processor so we're well on our way!

He is still having a hard time sleeping through the night waking multiple times to nurse/be comforted. I'm hoping as we increase the amount of solid food that he eats that this will help him sleep better as I am one T-I-R-E-D momma!

It's the busy holiday season and it's so fun to have all his firsts... first time decorating the tree (he loves trying to grab the ornaments off the tree or grab for the lights). I can't wait for his first Christmas morning and I am so glad that Grammy Mar will be here to share that with us!
