Clay is six months old and just a barrel of fun! He enjoys spitting, laughing, hugging, babbling, screeching, jumping, smiling, kicking, splashing, sitting up and grabbing everything in sight. However, he does not enjoy teething. At the time of this posting, he does not have any teeth, but I don't think it will be long now!
He can sit up all by himself which is a very recent development. After a couple of minutes, he gets tired and slumps over to one side. So, we have to stay close by to "catch" him.
He is eating more solid foods: sweet potatoes, pears, peas (although he's not sure he likes them), oatmeal, and rice cereal. He also LOVES his sippy cup. He would drink out of it for 20 minutes at a time if we would let him.
At his six-month checkup on May 19th, he weighed 17 lbs., 10 oz. (54th percentile), he was 70 cm. long (78th percentile), and his head circumference was 45 cm. (86th percentile). He has a large noggin!
He sleeps about ten or eleven hours each night which has been wonderful for me and Rob. We're having lots of fun and look forward to each new day with our little peanut!
