6 months!

Carlisle is six months! We can't really believe it. It has just lown by. We can't believe how much Carlise has changed! Here is a brief list of what he is doing:

-- Eating- Carlisle loves to eat- thankfully, it appears he got his dad's super metabolism. He has been through all the stage 1 foods, and really likes vegetables (except peas) and sort of likes fruit- he like pears. He is okay with applesauce and bananas. He does not enjoy peaches- at all. He hates it more than peas. We have just moved him to where he eats "food" three times a day and he is doing well with it.

-- Carlisle can roll from his stomach to his back, but is reluctant to roll from his back to his stomach. He doesn't like being on his stomach, so that may be part of it. Apparently, at school, he rolls and scoots a lot. At home- not so much.

-- Carlisle is very close to sitting up unassisted, and in fact can do so for a few seconds at a time, but still tips over pretty quickly.

-- Carlisle is pretty talkative. When Carlisle wakes up in the morning he talks and talks and then usually drifts back off to sleep.

--Carlisle is a good sleeper, usually sleeping from 7:30/8:00 pm to 7 am. The last two nights, though he has woken up which is strange- I think he is teething. He currently has no teeth- but with all the drool and this night waking, I expect to see a tooth any day now.

-- Carlisle still has very little hair. okay, like no hair. whatever.

-- Carlisle puts about anything within his reach in his mouth. If the toy isn't in his mouth, he is banging or waiving it around.

-- Carlisle loves to smile and laughs when you laugh. He loves to be tickled and loves for mom to get real close to his face so that her hair surrounds him. He thinks that is hysterical. He likes to watch Raleigh, kick his legs, play in his exercauser and LOVES to jump in his jumpy. He could jump in it for an hour if we'd let him. What he doesn't like- being on his stomach, having his nose suctioned and hates the sun in his eyes. He also now loves a camera. I pull out my camera and he immediately starts to smile. It is pretty cute.

Carlisle is a true joy. We are so very lucky! His 6 month check up is not until next week, so I will update with his official stats then. I feel as though he has gotten really heavy, so I expect a large weight gain. :)

Here are his 6 month photos:
