Half a Year

James at 6 Months - May 30, 2013

I cannot believe that James is already 6 months old; time is going by way too fast. At his 6 month checkup (which was on his actual half-birthday) James continued to be average (weighing 17 lbs 9 oz with a length of 24.75 inches) with a giant head (seriously his head circumference now puts him in the 90th percentile).

James has learned lots of new tricks over the last month. His biggest milestone being that he can now sit-up! Of course he topples over after a couple minutes but for a baby it's a success all the same. James can also now reach down and pick up toys to play with and can transfer toys from hand to hand. Along with this James also now wants to pick up anything and everything, especially whatever someone else is holding or attempting to hold.

James loves playing with his feet and pulling his socks off. He also loves to be thrown in the air and being tickled. His new favorite toy to chomp on is a starfish that is actually a bath toy. He also likes to play with random household objects - anything novel provides lots of excitement. James adores both reading and chewing on books and singing songs.  I can't believe my little baby is already a half a year old!
