Woven and Spun

Well, Dr. Daddy got out the stethoscope and other equipment to give Baby Drew his six month check up this weekend. We both had to stop and marvel at the fact that it had been six months. We weren’t at all surprised that Drew appears in all ways, very healthy. He is now 27 inches long and 19 pounds. He’s moving into 12 month clothing. It seems like we barely got a chance to put him in 9 month things before he was busting out of them. Drew got his first taste of solid foods about two weeks ago, when we finally realized that Mommy was not going to be able to keep up with his need for CALORIES!! He likes carrots and sweet potatoes, but is still a little unsure about peas. We just started him on fruit today, and the verdict is still out on bananas. I’ll have to keep you updated. He is sitting up very well now, almost completely on his own, but occasionally he will laugh out loud and fall backward or lunge for a toy and end up tipped over and not able to get up. He locks his knees well now and holds his own weight on his legs. He’s also expanded his repertoire of vocalizations – boy, do we get an earful every day. It’s scary to think what we’ll get to hear when he actual puts words to all those noises.
