SIX MONTHS
OK, so I am a month slow, but better late than never!!! It's been a hectic and wonderful past few weeks visiting family and friends! We certainly have kept very busy!
Ian has grown from 17.6 lbs. to 19 lbs. and since we were traveling, I did not get a length measurement! But, we know he's growing!
Milestones this month:
-Still in size 3 diapers, and wears size 9 months clothes and some 12 months!
-Has highly developed coordination to sit for as long as he wants to!
-Entertains himself for up to 30 minutes at a time with toys.
-Flaps his hands in excitement, and just for the sensation of it!
-"Ageee" is a new spontaneous noise he says when he is full!
-Is drooling a lot less! He is learning to swallow some of it back!
-Will transfer toys from one hand to the other.
-Favorite toys are ones that make crackling sounds or that he can shake and will rattle.
-Is now using rolling as a means of movement across the floor!
-Has improved his hand/eye coordination, and will look, then grasp small objects!
-Hair over his ears is now starting to curl up a little bit!
-Gives "hugs" and "kisses" purposefully!
-Will scoot towards an object to grab it.
-Lifts his knees off of the ground in a "pushup" position for a couple of seconds!
-Shows marked preferences for music...and the order in which it is played! He prefers choir music and classical!
-Coughs as a form of attention getting!
-Continues to try bits and pieces of new foods, but is more interested in playing with food than eating it.
-Is simply delighted at Kiki and Sera! He will laugh when he pets them, and at their moving around!
FIRSTS:
*Cold: he got a small case of the sniffles! He was so cute, wanting mommy a lot, but still very cheerful through the length of the bug!
*Trip to D.C.: what a fun visit with Aunt Kathy!
OF MENTION:
~ Ian travelled in the long car ride from Jacksonville to Atlanta admirably! He slept much of the time, only cried when he was hungry, and amused himself with toy after toy that I handed him from the front seat!
~ Say goodbye to the car-seat hooked to the stroller, he prefers to be facing out and about to observe the world around him!

Sorry to hear Ian did indeed have a cold - I thought he was communicating with Aunt Nicotine.
Are there pictures of Ian and me that you want to post? Without my double chin?
Looking to see you and your new glasses!!!
