August - Six Months

Happy six-month birthday, August!



Our little man is now closer to his birthday than to his birth day.

This was a huge month for August!  He started eating solid foods, and we haven't found one yet that he doesn't like.  His favorites are carrots, beets from our garden and bananas, but he also likes sweet potatoes, yogurt, kale, Swiss chard, avocados, pears...the list goes on.  We're so proud of our good eater.

August has also conquered rolling over this month.  He first rolled over from his back to his tummy the day we got home from Minnesota.  Now goes easily from back to belly and to his back again.  This is usually a good thing, until he finds himself on his belly in his bed and doesn't know what to do with himself.

This month, August has also started to sit up on his own and is so close to sitting strongly all the time.  We know it's a short trip from sitting strongly to crawling.  Matt still thinks that will be nothing but cute.

August has also been teething more than ever this month.  We think he still has a while to go before the first tooth cuts, though, so until then we're muddling through the loads of drool, bouts of crankiness and sleepless nights.  It's a good thing he's so darned cute.
