6 Months

I can't believe that baby Cole is already 6 months old.  It seems like just yesterday we were getting ready to go to the hospital to welcome him.  He is growing so fast too!  He weighs 18lbs 8oz and is 27 1/2 inches long which is way bigger than Halle was at 6 months - it is actually bigger than Halle was at 9 months!  Cole has been doing very well with his solid foods.  He is now eating oatmeal, rice cereal, pears, bananas, sweet potatoes, squash, sweet peas, and green beans - definitely not a picky eater.  He is also pretty much sitting on his own and is starting to scoot around.  He hasn't figured out how to go forward, but is surely moving pretty fast backwards!  Cole will push up onto all fours like he wants to crawl, but can't coordinate the movement of his arms and legs.  I know he will figure it out very soon.  I am still convinced he will walk very early...he loves walking around while you hold his hands and can maneuver that walker like a champ!  I am so thankful that God has blessed us with such a wonderful son!
