TEETHING BISCUITS

He loves them!! Happy Friday everyone!

6-month birthday!

This post is a couple days late...but Happy Half-Birthday little Thatch! In some ways, it seems like Thatcher has been with us forever and then in some ways it seems like it was just yesterday that he was born into this world. He is such a joy in our lives, I can't imagine life without him. At 6 months I want to remember a few fun things he is doing: he is still perfecting his sitting up position; he has become quite the little screamer...just randomly, he will start squealing and screaming...it is so funny; he has started banging his toys like a true little boy (he also throws his arms and legs and bangs them on the floor while he is laying there); he LOVES his bathtime (here too always raising his legs and crashing them into the water with big splashes); he is such an independent, happy little baby always smiling and playing with his toys (he even is happy in his playpen which I was surprised about); and most recently, we found out that he LOVES rice cereal, he was like a baby bird...he would open his mouth so wide and couldn't wait for the cereal to hit his mouth...so cute.

This weekend my roommate and best friend from college, Kristi, and her husband and little boy were in Dallas and stopped by to visit on Saturday. Thatch and BW are 2 weeks apart...Thatch has a little ways to go to catch up to BW's stats! Here they are checking each other out...

Here are just a couple more recent pictures that I thought were really cute! Happy Monday everyone!

The Latest Trick...

I thought I would share what little man has learned to do the past couple of days...SIT UP! Yea! Now...he doesn't stay sitting up for very long, but he is getting really good after lots of practice. What you don't see in this picture is that seconds later, he tumbled over backwards and hit his head pretty hard on that floor and started screaming...poor baby, I couldn't catch him in time...all for Mommy's taking too many pictures :( Check out those chunky legs! (don't look too close at the shirt covered in drool)

Thatch is getting excited to start eating "real food" here in a couple of weeks...can't you tell by the excitement on his face! For now he just sits in his highchair while we eat dinner...
