Evan is 6 Months Old

I can't believe my baby is now 6 months old.  Sept 4 marks his 1/2 year birthday.  He is getting bigger every day.  It seems like every couple of days he is learning something new.  This week alone he now makes a high-pitched "E" sound, rolls from back to front, and reaches his hands out for someone to pick him up.

Evan eats 2 tablespoons of cereal mixed with either a fruit or veggie 2 times per day.  He now has several things on his diet:  rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, apples, pears, bananas, green beans, and squash.  He tried sweet potatoes but had some diaper rash from it so we stopped feeding sweet potatoes to him.

He is sitting up better every day, with lots of support. He can sit up by himself for about 10 seconds.  However, because he likes to buck so hard backwards, someone has to be right behind him all the time.

Evan loves to ride in the car.  He usually falls asleep within 5 minutes of getting in the car. It puts him to sleep every time.  He is such a good little traveler. He also loves his piano that he kicks when laying on the floor. He will kick it so hard while he talks to himself in the overhead mirror.

One of Evan's favorite toys is his little music box.  Evan loves music. We got him several musical toys that he loves to watch and try to eat.  He also loves books and helps hold them and turns the pages.  And he loves really soft things like blankets and lovees.

 He loves chewing on his hands and feet now.  Evan also loves to hold your face while you talk.  I think it will help him learn to talk faster. He sure does concentrate on everything you say.  And he loves to stand. His little legs are pure muscle.

 Happy 1/2 year birthday to my baby boy!
