Six Months Old!

I know I'm a week late in announcing that I'm half a year old already... but I wanted to wait until after my checkup to report my stats! I'm 18.4 pounds and 26 inches long and I got an excellent report with my doctor who told Mommy and Daddy to keep up the good work! I do, however, have a small cold which has been bothering me a bit more lately and might get worse before I get all better. Mommy stayed home with me today to pamper me and snuggle a lot.

I really like being six months old! So many things have happened lately! In addition to my first cold, I'M GETTING MY FIRST TOOTH! And if you ask me, I'm handling it all like a champ. Occasionally I'll lose my personality for a bit or get a little irritable during bedtime, but for the most part, I just chew on stuff (Mommy's fingers are the best) and drool as bad as Bear.

Speaking of Bear, he and I are becoming pretty good pals. It's taken him a bit to accept me as here-to-stay, but he was like that with Milhouse too. I just recently figured out that the boys are actually things to interact with, not just to stare at. I started imitating Milhouse by panting every once in awhile. Then I started reaching out and 'petting' them. I'm totally fascinated with them! When Bear gives me kisses I laugh and laugh! Milhouse has never been much of a kisser but I know he's tempted.

One of the other cool things I've started doing is using is my Jumperoo! I LOVE IT! I haven't quite figured out how to jump in it yet, but it weeble-wobbles with me and every once in awhile I kind of jump. Thanks to Daddy's co-workers who got it for me!

Here are my six month pictures ~ aren't I getting big!? Mommy's working hard on a good video of me in the Jumperoo, so keep checking back!
