Half way to 1 people!!!!

Our little boy is 6 months old!!! Man the time is going by fast! This past month has been great for him.  He started clapping his hands by himself.  It's so cute to watch him clap.  I think he got it watching Matt clap during the Royals games.  A couple of weeks ago we got him a new jumper saucer.  HE LOVES IT!!! Andrew bounces in it for a long time and his legs are getting so much stronger.  Some times when Matt or I are holding him, he will move his legs up and down as if he was in the saucer.  Andrew is also holding his bottle pretty well during the last couple of ounces.  He can't hold the full bottle yet but it's coming soon.  Andrew can also make a "tri-pod" out of himself meaning I can sit him up and place his hands out in front of him flat on the floor.  He teeters for a little bit and eventually falls over but the doctor said that this is good for his balance in the future.

On Monday he had his 6 month check up at the doctors office and he got some shots as well.  Andrew weighs 17 lbs. 6 oz. which is in the 48% percentile.  He is 28" long which is in the 90% percentile.  Doctor said he is doing great physically and growing wise.  He wants us to work on reading to Andrew more and have Andrew "read" to himself as well.  Which means to just put a book in front of him and he can get used to what a book is.  I have placed a book in front of him a couple of time and he has just chewed on it.  It is so cute to watch him figure it out.


Matt thought it would be a great idea to celebrate Andrew's half birthday.  I thought it was such a thoughtful idea. We went out to dinner and then went to Price Chopper to get a little cake.  Matt and I were the only ones that ate the cake.  I know, it's Andrew half birthday and he doesn't get any of his cake.  Don't worry, he will get some on his first birthday!  He did get caught "red handed" sticking his hand into his cake while we were taking pictures.  He really did want some cake I guess!

Our little boy is getting so big and time is going by too fast.  Soon I will be writing a blog for his 1st birthday!

Here are some 6 months pictures, enjoy!









Figuring out everything!

Happy Half Birthday!

I want some cake too!
