well, we officially have a six month old boy who is an official crawler.
over the past couple of weeks, cody has mastered sitting and blossomed into a full-blown crawler. just the past day or two, he's finally built up some momentum and can get himself across a room with surprising speed, which gets him into mischief from time to time.
(sorry for the fuzziness)
he has a bit of difficulty crossing the barrier from the living room to dining room. once he hits that tile, he lands flat back on his belly. maybe it will keep him contained in the living room for another day or two before he really gets it figured out.
we've moved on from just rice cereal to adding avocado and then banana. here's his reaction to avocado...
each spoonful resulted in a kind of gagging grimace. i wish i could have caught it on camera cuz i just had to laugh every time. after a few days off, we tried it again today and he had a much better experience with it.
his favorite toys seem to be all the things not actually designed to be toys, like an empty wipes bag, some old measuring cups, and any size of envelope.
cody loves to sing songs. his favorites are the monkeys jumping on the bed and the monkeys swinging from the tree. for christmas, he gave grandma and grandpa bishop a five little monkeys and crocodile finger puppet set. grandma sings with him on skype all the time, so he thought she and grandpa would love to have some monkeys to use for their songs.
(i used this tutorial, but added the red mouth and teeth for mr. crocodile)
ryan asked if we could open one present on december 1st this year. mostly he just wanted to give me my michael buble christmas cd with plenty of time to enjoy it i think, since i know he won't let me listen to it in his presence once december is over. cody gave ryan a book in english and spanish so they could read together. he even 'helped' wrap it.
ryan and i gave cody a book called 'that's not my snowman.' he loves that book and tries to open and look at it all the time.
at his 6 month doctor's appointment he measured...
weight - 19 lbs 11 oz (75 percentile)
height - 28 in (90-95 percentile)
head - 18 in (off the charts)
he just keeps growing tall and skinny!
we sure love our small, cute boy
