6 Months

(Just as a note.. Zach was 6 months on August 24th.. which is when I actually wrote this entry.. I just didn't get the pics/videos attached until today.. yes.. I know it's almost two months later..)

We've made it!! 6 Whole Months! Whew!!

So.. just to document some of Zach's progress over the past couple of months..

He mastered the art of rolling from back to front as well as front to back on July 1st, and by mid-July had developed his highly skilled combination of rolling and scooting on his back, inch-worm style to get around:



He loves to be on the ground scooting / rolling around and hates to be confined anywhere -- high chair, car seat, etc. Don't get me wrong, he tolerates these places for a time, but then starts to complain if he doesn't get his freedom.

He has started sitting up on his own for fairly good chunks of time, and can easily pick up just about anything, move it between hands, etc. His favorite? Chords (especially those attached to electronic devices) and paper (which, of course, if you don't grab it fast enough gets eaten).




Just a couple of weeks ago, he started eating solid foods and is catching on quickly and has gobbled down everything I've given him so far (which pretty much amounts to bananas and rice cereal)



Just recently, he's started to get up on his hands and knees and 'rock'.. looks like we're going to have a crawler on our hand in the near future:



He is such a happy little boy and LOVES to smile -- especially at strangers. It's amazing how much he's grown in the last 6 months.. it will be fun to see where he's at in another 6.
