It's been quite a while since I've updated the blog because I have wanted to spend as much time as possible with Will and John before school started...and today was the day!! Will is over 6 months old now. He is growing and changing every day (I know I say it in every post!) I can finally say that he has rolled over for the first time (May 11) Since that first time, he has been doing it sporadically, and mostly by surprise. I have just come to realize that he is happy as can be laying on his back, reaching for toys with the closest hand!! Although, he has become more and more fond of his tummy time lately! He tries to get to toys in front of him, but ends up going backward---the beginnings of crawling I think! His favorite toys right now are Sophie the giraffe (the very expensive toy that looks and sounds like a dog toy), his crackle book, my car keys (the toy ones are no fun), and he LOVES his jumperoo! He loves to give big, open mouth wet kisses and also loves to mock back and forth with me! Other milestones since the last post include sitting up on his own (just the past few weeks), able to stand for extended periods with a little assistance, and pushes belly off the ground during tummy time! He is definitely a screamer, and his personality is really starting to develop. He will screech and talk in delight most of the time, but it can turn into an ear piercing scream if he wants something! Will loves to read books...mostly grabs at the pages and flicks them with his hands.
Will is an awesome eater! I feed him solids 2 times a day....mid morning breakfast and dinner. We have tried many different things. He loves his orange vegetables (carrots, squash, and sweet potato) and hates the green ones (each bite followed with a cringe and gag) He also loves pears, apples, and bananas (but only fresh ones in the mesh eater) Another favorite is prunes (I told him that only babies and elderly people like them...and also pop-pop!!)
On a side note---it has been pretty stressful the last month for our whole family!! John took a job promotion in Indianapolis in the middle of May and he moved out there. Will and I have been staying with my parents and it has been going really great so far. My parents have been a HUGE help during this transition---with starting school, clinicals, and work. And, John's parents have been really helpful too with watching Will throughout the week!! We are so grateful to have such wonderful families!!! I can tell that Will really misses is daddy because when he sees him after a long time he gets sooo excited!!
Here are some 5-6 month old pics....
