Six Months

Tommy turned six months this week.  He's almost exclusively bottle feeding and he loves his cereal and other solids.  Bananas are his favorite food - followed closely by green peas.  He's not crawling yet, but he can turn around on his tummy and push himself backwards.

Playing with his favorite toy.  He figured out how to open and close the doors to hear the animal sounds.  It keeps him entertained for a long time.

 Tommy loves his bath time.  He splashes like crazy and gets everything wet.  But he's just so darn cute that it's hard to make him stop.

Tommy also loves to bang on the xylophone.  It surprises him at first but then he sits and laughs while whacking away at the poor instrument.  Maybe he'll be a drummer when he grows up.

 Taking his bottle like a pro.  The whole family is getting in on the fun.  It warms my heart to see the girls try to feed him.  And Tommy and Daddy have been bonding a lot more with these feedings.

 Look who can sit in the high chair now!  It is a lifesaver at dinner prep time.  He likes to sit up and play with toys on the tray while I cook and talk to him.  He looks so big sitting there.  Annie still uses the high chair at mealtimes but we're thinking it is time to let Tommy have it.

Aw Mom....no more pictures!  He knows when to close his eyes to avoid the flash.  Poor guy.  He's just so cute I can't help but capture every moment I can.  And he knows that when the orange light starts to show on the camera that it the flash is coming soon.

He has adjusted to more bottle feedings very well and seems to have less spit up and gas now too.  He usually sleeps through the night and still wants EVERYTHING in his mouth.  He is super ticklish, laughs when Lily enters the room, and follows Mommy's every move with his eyes.  Everyone says he looks just like Daddy.  But we think he has a lot of Mommy in there too.  We love you little bubba!
