Happy Half Year!

Guillermo is six months old today! Hoorah! So, what has he been up to lately? Well, he cut his first tooth (bottom left) a few days ago, and as it continues to grow in, he is super cranky. He has not been napping much at all and waking about every two hours at night (sometimes crying out as he wakes). We're hoping that this passes for his sake and ours! So, some milestones so far:

  • Babbling (ba-ba, da-da, tha-tha, wa-wa)
  • Sitting for minutes at a time unassisted
  • Pulling to all fours and moving back and forth
  • Eating rice cereal and carrots (starting a green veggie next week)
  • Standing with help
  • Can pull from sitting to standing
  • Scooting backwards and in circles (this is frustrating for him since he goes away from things he wants rather than toward them and hasn't figured out that if he turns so he's not facing the toy, then scoots back towards it, he can get to it)
  • Passing toys from hand to hand and grabbing at things he wants (including dad's glasses and other shiny, pretty things)
Well, six months has flown by even with this LONG winter, and it's hard to believe that in six more, he'll be celebrating his first birthday. Amazing!

A little chatting

It was a beautiful 74 degree day today--so nice that we took TWO walks! One at Manito Park and one around the neighborhood. Everyone else was out working in their yards, but we have yet to buy the necessary tools for yard work, and Bill was on call, so we had an excuse to enjoy the sunshine! Afterwards, we chatted with Guillermo. Here he is showing off some of his sounds (warning, gratuitous slobber scene):

Big boy


We went to the doc yesterday because we thought G had an ear infection. It was just teething. He's pulling at his right ear like crazy and such a grouch! This shot was taken today after we got home from class. Spring is in the air...he couldn't be happier to go pantless! On a funny note, he was weighed. His 5.5 months weigh in...19 lbs, 1 oz!

Making faces

Guillermo's scrunch face...he's into no napping the last few days..maybe that's where the face came from? No, actually, he's not at all upset in this picture, just getting ready to babble..I guess he has to get his face warmed up or something!

All about Guillermo and Alma. Our little people.
