6 Months Old!

Ian is 6 months old today, and it feels both like 6 minutes and 6 lifetimes have passed since he was born.

At 6 months old, Ian:
* weighs 15 lbs 6oz and measures 25 3/4 inches tall.
* is just starting to fit in his 6-9 month clothes and is wearing size 2 diapers.
* is learning to eat solid foods. So far he's sampled oatmeal, apples, pears, peas, squash, and prunes. Apples and squash seem to be his favorites. The doctor said to replace 2 of his bottles a day with solid foods, so he'll be trying a lot of new things very soon.
* is still a great sleeper, usually sleeping 12 hours each night. He naps on his side with a blanket or lovey pulled up over his face.
* can almost sit up unassisted, and is very quick to roll from his belly to his back. He is very close to rolling from back to belly, and can roll from side to side pretty well.
* is endlessly entertained by his exersaucer - he LOVES to plant his feet and hop up and down or rock back and forth.
