Half Birthday!

Yesterday Anderson turned 6 months old! I can't believe he's already half way to his first birthday! He's a very busy boy! He's crawling, bear crawling, trying to pull up, playing and putting EVERYTHING in his mouth. He's full of energy and always looking to do the next thing! I fear he is going to be an exhausting toddler!
At his 6 month appointment he weighed in at 16lbs and almost 27" long. His doctor was pleased with his growth and everything he is doing. Next check up won't be until 9months.
He's now taking 2 naps a day both ranging from 1.5-2hrs on a good day and going to bed between 7/7:30 and waking up sometime between 6:30/7 usually. We certainly have our "off" days but overall I'm really happy with our current schedule.
He's still breastfeeding 4 times a day and eating solid foods 3 times a day. It's still a little hit or miss on the solids. Some days he can't get enough and other days he's not too interested. His favorites are definitely apples, avocados,carrots and yogurt.  We tried a few "puffs" and a "mum mum" yesterday and he was a big fan of feeding himself.
We switched his car seat from the infant carrier to the convertible this past weekend and he loves it so much better. He loves sitting up more and looking out the window. And its nice to not have to lug around the super heavy carrier when we run errands! Now he sits in the basket when we go to Target or the grocery store and he loves it.
His favorite things to do right now are sit and play with toys, crawl and try to pull up on things and blow LOTS of raspberries. He is just so fun right now:)
As for me...only working 1-2 days a week right now because my day care lady is still on maternity leave but thats ok. Todd is busy busy busy at work. So busy that we decided to delay our trip out to Glacier until later this fall. Bummer.
Gosh, I know I'm leaving things out but someone is waking from his nap....
