Nicholas' Six Month Update!

We can't believe our little baby is going to be six months old this coming Tuesday! He's growing so fast and does new things every day. Over the past month or so he started eating rice cereal, applesauce, pears, and carrots! He seems to be taking after his mom with his appetite - we'll see whose palate he gets. Here are a few shots of him eating - he gets that little mouth open really wide and even sticks out his tongue when food is headed his way.
Rice cereal - Yum!

Applesauce - double YUM!

"I love my new high chair! Thanks Aunt Donna & Uncle Pat!"
Nicholas is also becoming quite the wiggle monster - which I'm told is typical for a boy. He has been known to walk up my stomach as I am standing and holding him, try to crawl around my shoulders, flip around and shimmy down my legs when I'm sitting down with him, and just generally try to go, go, go. He is doing great in the sitting position - he almost doesn't have to use his arms to stay upright. He is a pro at tummy time and even pulls his knees up to the crawling position and rocks back and forth like he's revving up to crawl! The other day he did this in is crib and cracked himself up with hysterical laughter. Ah the simple things!

The Smith Family got him a great jumperoo for a baptism present - it's a great way for Nicholas to use some up of his endless energy. I am going to attempt to upload a video of him jumping away...
