6 Months Old

Baby CP is now 6 months old. He weighs in at 19 lbs 3 oz and measures 27 inches tall.  A few days after his first tooth came in, the neighboring tooth also sprouted.

He enjoyed his first Thanksgiving down at Cousin BY's house.

While at Cousin BY's house, I felt like Baby CP needed a helmet. He would try to reach up and over and then his body would sort of flip over and his head would hurtle towards the floor quickly. We had to keep catching him. That only lasted a little while thankfully because a few days later, he learned to balance on his side by exerting pressure through his big toe. Now he lounges around in such fashion regularly. 

 

Baby CP can drag himself into any direction and can move a few feet on the ground if he feels like it.  He can also get his knees under his hips sometimes and can put weight on his arms...the pieces are all there for crawling.  He just needs to put them all together.

We tried to feed him solids for the first time three days ago...mushy avocados mixed with milk. He might have swallowed a little bit on the first day, but after that it was just pretty messy without much progress. I think I'm going to try something sweet like apples next.

Today we took a walk at Chrissy Field...Baby CP got fussy in the stroller and when carried, insisted on staring at the ground the whole time even though there were interesting things to see like birds, doggies and water. Oh well...we think he either liked the crunchy sound of the sand and rocks or he wanted to walk on it himself. Then we stopped by the farmer's market at Fort Mason.
