Six Months

Sam, at 6 months, is a blur of activity. Seriously. For a baby that is not yet crawling, he sure moves a lot! I tried to take his picture on his 6 month 'birthday' in April and got these.

Then, I tried to capture him a week or so later and got these. Still blurry. Oh well, I guess night time iPhone photo shoots are not the best:)

At any rate, he's a bundle of energy and growing like a weed.  A weed, I tell you!  Here's a little about 6 month old Samuel.
*Can sit well, unassisted. Can't yet get to sitting on his own, though.
*Can roll both ways and get around a room pretty quickly just by rolling.
*Is very grabby and tries REALLY hard to get his hands on anything within reach (or just out of it).
*Hair is probably his favorite thing to grab, especially his sister's.
*Is extremely entertained by peek-a-boo.  Especially loves the elaborate version where Marley sneaks around, crawling under furniture and such, so he can pop up unexpectedly and yell peek-a-boo at Sam.
*Thinks his siblings are hilarious.
*Has the greatest, most wonderful sounding laugh.
*Likes to empty containers.
*Has two little teeth on the bottom.
*Enjoys feeding himself sweet potatoes, apple sauce, yogurt, prunes, chicken, asparagus, carrots, and more!

Sam loved the tofu soup (among other things) at Dim Sum.

*Weighed over 20 lbs and was 28" tall (90th percentile!) at 6 months. (Here's Marley and Amelia)
*Wears 12 month size clothing.
*Has rolls, upon rolls, upon rolls.
*Drools a lot.
*Is beginning to be interested in books (for more than just eating them).
*Sleeps next to us (mostly) in his sidecarred crib.
*Wakes up 2-3 times during the night to nurse.
*Easily takes a bottle.
*Loves his binky, and almost always needs it to fall asleep.
*Plays alone happily for extended periods of time.
*Cries and fusses when he's tired.
*Babbles da-da, ba-ba, and ma-ma.
*Is very social and likes to be noticed. Almost always smiles back when someone talks to him.
*Is a pretty laid back, patient guy.
