right now Silas is...

• 6 1/2 months old
• the proud owner of two bottom teeth, and cutting a top tooth (too fast!)

• eating bananas, sweet potato, applesauce, squash and rice crackers
• really getting the hang of eating from a spoon
• holding his own bottle
• air jumping-he waves his arms and legs frantically and screeches in excitement
• sitting supported, but still topples over pretty easily

• settling into naps pretty easily, smiling when I put him in his crib (yeah, now that I said that, I know what to expect tomorrow....)
• still waking up to nurse several times a night (I'm ready for some sleep!)
• still thinking his big brother is the coolest person ever (seriously, he's infatuated with him, it's so cute)

• getting big! His 6 month check-up has been cancelled twice, so I'm not sure how much he weighs, but he's outgrowing everything again. He's wearing 6-9 month clothes.
• rolling from back to belly and vice versa. I love putting him down on a big blanket and just letting him go to town. The bed is no longer safe, unless he's barricaded with pillows.
• starting to incorporate ba-ba and ma-ma sounds into his cries
