Christopher: 6 months old

We went to the doctor this week for Christopher's 6-month well-baby check-up. He weighed in at 15 lb 12 oz. And he's getting a little belly to prove it!! :)

We've started feeding him solid foods. We heard about BLW (baby-led weaning) and tried giving Christopher some banana and avocado to munch on. He seemed to like that...but mostly sucked on the peel to be honest. We've also given him some cereal, mashed up carrots, mashed potatoes, and applesauce. He's very suspicious of the spoon and wants to grab it, chew it, and play with it--but not necessarily eat from it. (He liked the applesauce, though.)

Christopher can get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth a bit. He's even slid his knees forward a titch (with a big smile on his face), to advance an inch or so. His favorite thing to do is walk around, though.

The weather has still been pretty cold here. The wind is especially biting. We've bundled up and are waiting out these last couple weeks of winter.

Christopher loves being outside. He also loves looking outside.

We have a great view of the road and people are always walking back and forth on the sidewalks, so it makes a pretty interesting view for a baby, I guess. He likes climbing up the window pane with his feet and standing on the window sill.

One of his best friends is a stuffed zebra.

This next picture cracks me up. Looks like someone must be teething!

Christopher is getting really good at laughing. He will laugh and laugh at his hilarious parents.

And he's growing! He can actually stand up in his exersaucer now that his feet can fully reach the bottom. It's great standing practice and he is pretty content to play for awhile in it now.

What a cutie!
