Leo's official 6 month post

Please ignore the watermark on these proofs, but they are too cute to wait for the real things to share with you! Isn't he adorable?

Leo has a great head of hair; it is often done in a mohawk. Sometimes I try to do a comb over, but it doesn't last long and he ends up looking like Shaggy from Scooby Doo...it doesn't help that his hair hangs over his ears which drives me crazy! When do you cut a baby's hair?

He is also a really great car rider...for the most part he doesn't mind getting in the car and running errands. Sometimes he falls asleep, but lately he has been enjoying looking around a little bit more. We are grateful that we only moved an hour away- that trip to see Grammie and Grandpa is so doable!

Leo is a great eater too. So far he doesn't care for squash (who can blame him) but likes peaches (duh!), green beans, and sweet potatoes. And he LOVES his oatmeal- yummy! He can drink out of a bottle, a sippy, a spouted (but not sippy) cup, and a regular cup (it is a little messy still but he is getting pretty good!) He can't wait to have a drink each night out of the giant cup we use to rinse him off in the bath...what a nut! I just moved him up to 3 meals a day this past week and so far everything seems good.

This is his default pose- sucking that bottom lip. He is definitely getting more mobile. He rolls over both ways now and almost sits without support. He has always been into standing and now is no exception! Often we will try to pull him up to a sitting position but he just goes straight to standing.

His arms are wild- he grabs at everything! Beware if you try and hold him...I will not be held responsible for pulled out hair, missing earrings, broken glasses, etc. He loves to shake anything that he can get his hands on; it is so cute to see him figure out his wrist and twist it from side to side. Spoons (like the picture above) makes some of the best toys...as does paper. He loves to hold paper and I have found a little piece of it in his mouth then and again- oh brother! Going to get the mail with me each day is a highlight. :)

He really is so cute and happy most of the time. We have been having a difficult week or two with him as we are so off any sort of schedule and his ability to sleep through the night and nap in the day have gone out the window...but that is a whole other post! He loves to laugh and I can't help but feel like everything is worth it when I hear him giggle. Playing is so fun with him at this stage! We feel so lucky every day that he is our boy- what a joy he is! :)

*Yes, I know all of these pictures are small but beggars can't be choosers! All of these pics (except the proofs) are off my phone which was the only working camera I had for awhile...*
