Diet expansion and 9 New Pictures

I've uploaded nine new pictures, including some pictures of trying to introduce peas to Justin's diet. As you will see from the pictures, he is a big fan, NOT! Jenny started him on prunes yesterday. He seems to like them a lot, but Jenny said that I probably won't like them very much due to their look and smell.

He's sitting up real well now. Yesterday he was sitting in the piano room playing with his peek-a-block train and he spit up and I felt comfortable going into the kitchen to get a paper towel and letting him sit up without any help nearby for ten seconds or so. He's already fallen over a bunch of times on the carpet and it doesn't seem to bother him. He just rolls over toward whatever toy/pet/person/shiny thing he was trying to get at that made him fall over in the first place.

He's been sleeping a lot the last few days. He's probably going through another growth spurt. Maybe his head will get bigger. Stranger things have happend.

P.S. For Rosa: There is nothing wrong with his head. We just keep bringing it up as a running joke now. Everything is fine. :)

6 Month Doctor Visit

Justin had his six month appointment yesterday (Monday). His numbers are Height: 27.5in (80%), Weight: 18#12oz (75%), and Head: 16.5in (10%). His head continues to shrink at an alarming rate. The good news is that his weight % is still lower than his height %, which means he is not overweight, despite his large thighs.

On Easter Sunday we gave him the toys that the great grandparents gave us when we went to Shell Point. He loves them. He has tasted them all and found them acceptable.

I uploaded five new pictures, two from when I was playing with him on the couch, and three of him getting his new toys.

Sit Like a Man

Justin can sit up on his own now. Not for very long, but Thursday I sat him on the floor with his train toy in front of him and he sat up playing with it for 4 - 5 minutes without falling over. I still have to stay next to him because if he gets too excited, he throws his head back and tips over backwards.

His solid food eating is still going well. Yesterday we introduced sweet potatoes and he seemed to like them too. Maybe next Friday we will try something green.

The most exciting new development is that yesterday he started babbling. He lays in his crib now, awake, going "ga bwaa haa da da. . ." etc. . . It's very cool, and very cute.

To commemorate these momentus milestones I have uploaded eight new pictures to the album. In the pictures where he is eating, he's having rice cereal.

New Picture

I uploaded one new picture from the shell point trip to the gallery. It's of Jenny's grandparents, Jenny, Justin, Haydee, and myself.
