Too Tired

Many things you do make me laugh so much. I don't think you can even imagine just how sweet and funny you can be. You were enjoying the jumperoo but too tired to hold your head up. You would rest your head and play with the toys, then bounce a little, rest your head, repeat. You actually got mad at me when I tried to take you out which is unheard of around here.

Another Jungle Gym

You like to spend your play time climbing on me and over me. This weekend you found a new jungle gym to climb on.

A New Texture

You had your first feel of grass today. Because we are having beautiful weather, I contemplated taking you for a walk in the stroller or packing you in the car for a trip to the park. Then, I thought that you could have a wonderful new experience right here, in your own yard, while using your newly mastered crawling skills.

I laid out a blanket but didn't expect you to stay on it. You immediately crawled to the edge and inspected the grass.
You hung out there for a while picking the grass and dropping it. I decided to sit away from you to see if you would venture into the grass. Well, you did...
but you weren't too happy about it. This was as far off the blanket as you would go. After giving the grass several dirty looks, you decided to fuss at me to rescue you. After I placed you back on the blanket, you happily played away, but wouldn't go near the edge again.

The World of Self Feeding

You seem to enjoy it. Although, I'm not sure how much of it you actually swallow as opposed to how much of it ends up all over you, your clothes, the high chair, the floor. So far you have biter biscuits, arrowroot cookies, wagon wheels and puffs.

One Week, Three Skills

BABY Bear mastered three skills this week. You have perfected you ability crawl as previously mentioned, your ability to pull to a stand and you ability to get from the crawl position to a sitting position. What is there left for a six month old to learn? I was shocked by how quickly and seemingly easily you accomplished each task. You are quite clear with your ultimate goal: walking. You are so bold as to completely let go of whatever item you were holding to reach for something, causing you to fall. You then get extremely upset. Don't worry, walking will be soon enough, especially for such a determined little boy!

Who Is That Sneetch

with all those chins? I had to post this because it is the most adorable thing I have ever seen.
Sorry about the flash on the fridge. Daycare is always sending home the cutest crafts. Next to Sneetch Taevin you can see Eskimo Taevin, a part of Taevin's terrible towel and the edge of a heart that has a handprint on it. I'm a sucker for crafts!

The Amazing Tave

In a matter of 3 short days, Taevin perfected crawling...



and adopted a new goal immediately:

Yes, that's right, from the moment he figured out how to crawl, he was attempting to pull himself up on anything and everything he could reach. He was successful here, with the help of my laptop cord, which I was trying to get out of his hand, while taking a picture because I couldn't believe he did it.* Apparently my son would like to master every skill possible before he reaches seven months. Please slow down baby, I'm having so much fun with the crawling. I don't want it to end yet.

*How was that for a run on sentence?
