Six Months, Yo!

Tuesday was Finn's six month birthday. Wow. We're halfway through. M. and I spent a very long period of time sitting on the floor Finn's room last night watching him pick up blocks. It's amazing the things we find amusing now.

Where is he developmentally?

Crawling. He is still working on crawling and can now not only scoot backwards but scoots sideways as well. He's much less frustrated with his inability to move forward, so as long as he's not spending hour after frustrating hour on his hands and knees yelling, he can have all the time he needs.

Sitting. He sits. And sometimes he still falls, but not as much.

Rolling. He rolls. Like a crazy boy. Changing his diaper is sometimes close to impossible. We think it's his secret plan to be naked as much as possible. He refuses to stay on his back in general.

Grabbing. Finn can grab things with one hand or two hands, transfer from hand to hand, and shape his hand to fit the object. He's showing signs of the pincer but still mostly uses the palmer grip. He's starting to grab at us when he's on the floor and we're walking nearby and he is showing signs of asking to be picked up.

Food. Okay, we're a little overwhelmed by the whole feeding solids. We're sporadic, but our boy LOVES to eat when we actually feed him. So far he's had pear, banana, apple, nectarine, advocado, yogurt, applesauce and homemade whole grain baby cereal. He constantly grabs at our food and drink.

Overall, he's a happy, happy boy. Except when he's not. But that's okay. He's the best, EVER!
