Six Months Old!!

Josiah turned six months old on Christmas Day and we went to the doctor yesterday for the inevitable shots:-( They let us know that since he was eligible for the flu shots now, we could get them all at once but I thought that 5 shots in one day was a bit too much, don't you agree?? So we'll have to go back in a couple of weeks for the flu shots but spreading them out seemed better than assaulting his poor legs all at once! Anyway, he was once again declared "perfect and healthy" by the doctor! Here are the numbers: Height: 27 inches Weight: 18 lbs. 12 oz. We marvel every day at how big he is getting and how much he changes day to day! He is now sitting like a champ and hardly ever tips over unless he loses focus:-) He is babbling a ton but his favorite noise to make is an ear-piercing squeal! He thinks it's the greatest sound anyone could ever make....and while we, as his parents, think it's pretty cute, we're pretty sure those around us might tire of it sooner than we do! We're working on "inside voice"....yeah, we'll keep you posted on that one! He started cereal a couple of weeks ago and even though we got off to a rocky start, he LOVES it now and is excited when he sees the bowl. He very much enjoys the carrots and pears...as for the peas, those might take a bit more convincing:-) He got his first tooth yesterday and we are waiting for it's neighbor to pop through any minute now! I'll post a picture as soon as I can get him to pose for one:-) Overall, he is a happy, content, joyful baby! Seth and I comment daily on what a blessing he is and how lucky we consider ourselves! Here are his six month pictures, be sure to check out the previous two posts for more pictures from the last month!
