6 Months Old!

Weight: 22lbs (10kg) Mimi said, "Ok, now put the other half of him on the scale!"
(We put Simone on the scale and she weighed in at 28lbs!)
Length: 72.5 cm (28.5 inches)

Firsts for the month:

Big boy sitting up in the high chair!!!
Gawshhh he's a cutie patootie!

Not only sitting up in the chair, but also all by himself!!!
(This is Ollie's first-thing-in-the-morning face!)

Moving on from just rice cereal... bring on the fruit! Here is Ollie's first taste of apple sauce! (Turns out apples are not his favourite... he enjoys pears and bananas the most and leans forward with his mouth open to get to the spoon faster! We will continue with carrots and sweet potatoes next!)

Ollie's first tooth also came in this month! He has (SO FAR!) seemed to be in fairly good spirits about it and the drool has not stopped... I think the second one will be following very soon! This picture reminds us a lot of somebody else and her first teeth...

Here is Simone at seven months with two bottom teeth! :)

This dude is getting ready to be on the move! I am not ready!!! I sit him up in front of the nursing pillow on the floor and the second I turn to grab a diaper, he is on his tummy, trying to inch his way to Simone's chair! He gets his arms into a full push-up position and has been working on getting his knees up!

He is also getting pretty good at the J'Ollie Jumper! 

My mat leave is HALF OVER, people!!! (I guess the optimist would say I still have half a year left???)
