Six months

Aiden is already 6 months old! Can you believe it? I can't. It's gone by so fast and he is getting so big. I'm in love with his photos for this month. You can totally see his little personality in these photos. I had a hard time choosing which ones to include in this post. So many good ones. He is just too darn cute, but maybe I'm biased :)

At 6 months, he:

• is huge. We'll find out Thursday his official stats, but everyone's guessing 20 pounds.
• has started eating solid foods. We started with bananas on New Year's day (about a week before his 6 month birthday). He's also had sweet potatoes and butternut squash. Tomorrow we try avocado.
• is taking fewer ounces from a bottle while Mommy is at work, but still nurses every few hours when I'm home.
  
• is drinking water from a cup. I got him a couple sippy cups, but he'd rather just drink from my glass.

• is pretty into standing up and wants desperately to pull up on things...he's not quite there, but pretty close.
• sits up like a big boy.
• is working on crawling, but hasn't quite coordinated his arms and legs.
• has 2 teeth and is working on a third
• is still sleeping in our room and/or in bed with me and wakes up once or twice during the night.
  

• likes to play rough and be tickled.
• still thinks peek a boo is pretty great.
• is loving more active toys and is into banging on things.
• still loves his blankets and stuffed animals.
  

• had his first real illness, a cold that lasted for almost two weeks :(
• loves splashing in the bathtub
• likes hanging outside
  
• is still such a cuddler
• is quite the entertainer and kind of a ham, as evidenced by the next few pictures
  

• is the best thing ever.
