Six Months!

Tyson is six months old today!  I am amazed at how fast the time has gone.  Just this last week he has really started to change a lot.  He is still such a sweet, mello, smiley little guy.  He still adores his Daddy and his brothers.  He is content to just kind of sit back and watch the world go by.  He likes looking at himself in the mirror right now.  He is just a really fun baby!  Some highlights

• this week he learned to roll over and to scoot himself
• he can only scoot himself backwards right now
• he can push himself up onto his hands
• he has started testing solid foods
• he likes these rice rusks that we get him called Mum-Mums
• he is not crazy about mushy food like bananas
• he is really starting to enjoy his toys and likes chewing on them
• he is a thumb chewer
• he is chatty but not overly loud.  If you get him going he will "talk" to you but mostly he is content observing
• he still sleeps in our bed
• he is still almost exclusivly nursing (he has the occasional bottle at the gym)
• we cut his hair this month.  With our older two boys we waited until they were a year old. 
• he is growing out of his six month clothes quickly and moving into nine month
• last time we weighed him he was 18 pounds
• his eyes are still blue, I'm not sure how long that will last
• he is not afraid of other people yet but he prefers Terence and me
• his hair is reddish/brown/blonde
• he has really big feet!

I could not be more thrilled to have Tyson.  I think being a little older and a little more mature makes a big difference with having an infant.  I am less concerned about the house being perfect and the little things that take time away from me enjoying him.  The time goes so fast!  I just want to take it all in!
