6 months

Precious Will, it is hard to believe that we are already flying through your sixth month. The days seems to fly by without much time to document all that you're up to :). So, here's a short update on your little world.

You are now sitting up for little chunks of time, and enjoy grabbing and playing with toys set in front of you. You are rolling from front to back, but don't seem very interested in rolling from back to front. We've been treating your torticollis and plagiocephaly (flat head) with an Osteopath, which seems to be helping.

You now seem to be handling solids well. It's taken us over a month to get you eating and swallowing well. After sleeping from 7:30pm-7:30am for several months straight, you decided about a month ago to start waking up at 5 or 5:30am. You mom seemed to think this was due to not eating solids well and being hungry, but now that we've been eating solids for a few weeks, it seems obvious that you've developed a wee night waking habit, which my dear son, we will (hopefully) be breaking you of soon ;).

You smile and laugh often, especially at your brothers. You love to watch them play and entertain you with silly and inappropriate noises (will that ever change?). You bring so much joy and delight to our family. It's been especially fun to watch your older brothers become so enamoured with you. When you're asleep, they ask where you are. The other day Andrew announced that he was very glad that you are a "boy" baby (I have to confess that this wasn't always the case)...that boys are the best. I loved that. We don't have the words to express, sweet boy, just how much we love you. You are such an incredible gift!!!

I can't help but notice in this picture that your legs are getting a bit more sun exposure than the rest of your body...a little "carseat tan". Sorry little man!
