Blake's 6 month stats:
Weight: 15 lbs 15 oz, 23rd percentile
Height: 25.5", 23rd percentile
We had a little half-birthday celebration for Blake. (We're slightly overzealous parents.) He was mesmerized by the candle. And no, I didn't let him have any cake of course, even though Randy wanted to let him play in it.
Now that Blake is 6 months old, he has has moved onto solids! He loved the rice cereal and the oatmeal but his first real food was peas. When the spoon of peas first hit his mouth, he turned his nose up but then he continued to eat. I think the new texture threw him off. His friend at daycare already started solids so he's been watching her eat - he knew exactly what to do when that spoon came towards him! He seems to have fun with this whole eating out of a spoon idea....and I had fun too because I got to use my new babycook. :) I'm planning on making all of his food because the foods he's eating are so simple and I only want him to eat organic fruits and veggies. Tonight we tried sweet potatoes and I had no problem getting him to eat them!
Blake is loving his feet right now, always pulling on his toes or his socks whether he's in the high chair, on the changing table, in the car seat, or in the stroller.

He has also figured out how to use his feet to scoot himself backwards and roll all around the floor. Gone are the days of placing him on the blanket and turning your back for a minute. He ends up in a completely different place! I know this is only the beginning...at least for now I can count on him ending up in the same room. He's so close to sitting up all by himself too. He loves his new workbench. His face lights up as soon as he sees it:
Grandma came to visit! Blake had fun playing with Mammaw and having another person to entertain him and give him lots of hugs and kisses.
He's finally grown into his exersaucer. I wish I knew what he was thinking in this first picture, so serious!
