6 Months

William is 6-months-old today! He went in for his shots, & he started screaming with the first poke (he had to get 3 as well as the rotavirus). He weighs 15 lb 15 oz & is 26 1/2 in. He's a lightweight for his age, but in the 50th percentile for height.
William loves to play w/ his feet & hands, listen to me sing "Old MacDonald," "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," & the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" (he loves the hand motions), rolls over in both directions, sits up pretty well on his own (I still stay close by because he doesn't completely have it down yet), sticks his tongue out & drools a lot, gets "pee shakes" (or at least that's what it looks like), throws his hips up in the air & grunts when he's on his back & wants to be picked up, likes to talk by sucking air in instead of blowing it out, hates eating solid foods, loves his bottle, & is officially sleeping through the night (we've been letting him cry it out for the last 4 nights, & the last 2 nights he slept almost 12 hours w/o waking up - 8:30 to 8:15 w/ us waking him up to eat one last time at 10:00 before we went to sleep). We love you baby boy!

  6. It's good Will likes it when you sing. Leah used to cry harder as soon as I'd start singing to her. Made me feel just great!

    Actually, she'd cry harder and then settle down and stop. Now, I start singing and she pops her head up to watch my mouth - like she's trying to see what's making that awful noise.
