Josh is 6 months old!

Josh is 6 months old! He is such a happy baby and we love having him as part of our family. This past month has been a big one for him from a developmental standpoint. After weeks of almost rolling over, he can flip over with ease now. In fact, almost as soon as you lay him on his back he's over onto his tummy pushing up and looking around. He's also started rolling over to sleep on his side or tummy. He can sit independently for several minutes and is getting more and more steady. We don't have any teeth yet, but I'm sure they're just below the surface waiting to pop. He puts everything he can get a hold of in his mouth (if babies learn by slobber he's a very well educated little boy!) His favorite chew toy seems to be his toes, he loves to get them up and into his mouth - oh to be that flexible. He had his first bites of cereal (although it didn't look like much more than runny milk) and did pretty well. He had his doctor's appointment on the 7th and he weighed 17 lbs., 1.5 oz (50%) and measured 27 inches long (50%). He eats 4 times a day (every 4 hours) and sleeps for about 11 hours at night (with a few whimpers during the night) plus 2 naps of about 1 1/2 hours (sometimes he still needs a little cat nap in the evening). Now onto the pictures...

(Dear FAMILY: If you're going to try to save and print any of the pictures yourself, click on the picture itself first (NOT right-click) and it will open it up as a bigger file. When the picture is up full screen, right-click on the picture and do "save picture as." Then you should be able to proceed as normal and hopefully that will get you better quality pictures when you get them printed.)
