6 months old - january 29, 2009

wow! six months old already! the five months old to six months old transition went really fast. it was a great month (as usual) with a lot happening. during the past month elias really began to roll a lot more. he has also mastered sitting up straight - which is so fun for us to watch, and it is great for him to be able to play with some of his toys. he had his first major cold this month (nose, throat, cough, etc.) the result was poor eating and sleeping, which was not great, but he has survived. another first this month was that elias ate his first variety of vegetables. he loved peas, didn't care as much for the green beans, and hated sweet potatoes. he has continued to laugh and interact like he is a little man, and the fact that he has so much hair and wears such cool clothes makes him seem even more grown up. he loves water - showers, baths, etc. he also continues to love music (sometimes it's the only thing that can make him happy - especially his praise baby dvd). he has his six month appointment on monday, so we'll let you know how much he has grown.
