My Baby Boy is 6 Months Old



I can't believe that Graves is already six months old! He's getting so big! He weighs 17 pounds and 10 ounces (compared to Liliana's 12 pounds, 1 ounce) and he is 26" long (Liliana was 24" at six months). What is even funnier is that at 1 year old Liliana was 16 pounds, 13 ounces and 27". My big boy! Actually - he's quite average as far as the "percentile charts" go, but Liliana is such a petite little Monkey that he seems so big!



This week Graves has done a lot of neat things. He has started babbling more and more. I really think he knows what he's saying to us - it's very cute to hear his tones of voice changing. His smile has changed too, he has the biggest grin ever! He rolls all over the floor (which brings on the new challenge of trying to convince his big sister that she needs to keep things such as pennies and little horses off the floor ;) ) and "crawls" in circles. He is very quick in his circular motions - if he would only learn to move those legs with him. (Or perhaps I am wishing a dreadful thing on myself, it will be another new challenge to keep up with Liliana AND Graves all over the house!) He has completely mastered sitting up unassisted over the past month and a half. He loves to sit and play with toys (especially if Liliana will play "with" him!). He is still the sweet cuddley "little" baby though. He loves to snuggle!
