happy boy

There is no doubt about when the child is having a great time... he has one BIG expression!


big laughs with daddy!
Next week he'll be 7 months old!

he's finally getting to the age where we can teach him [very little, basic] things, it's so fun!

Because he has never been a snuggler, the VERY first thing I taught him (this was maybe a month or so ago) was to hug! This morning when I woke him up, he was grabbing my head with both hands & slobbering on my cheek. I think this was his morning hugs & kisses - LOVE it!

We're teaching him to wave hi & bye - he [kind of] waves just his little fingers - we're working on it!

He loves to play peek-a-boo. When he's on the changing table he will grab his burp cloth & hold it over his eyes & then take it away - so fun!

We're working on learning how to stack the rings & take them off again (again, a work in progress).

HIS favorite thing (my least) is the spitting bubbles! He blows as hard as he can & blows spit everywhere. It really is hilarious, but it just gets PUDDLES of drool on his shirt. aghhhh!!

It's ironic to me that he's been drooling like a faucet for almost 5 months and yet most babies I know have gotten teeth before him! I think I see 2 little bumps, so they may be coming. At least he hasn't been fussy during that time!
No crawling yet, but he can definitely scoot himself all around. I am THOROUGHLY enjoying these last few weeks before he's on the go!
