6mo specks

6mo = 1/2 a year closer to one. How are we here? I definitely feel like I've enjoyed the milestones as much if not more with Cayden; maybe I know how quickly the time really does pass with my boys. Cayden is still that sweet, joyful child. He still doesn't cry much and usually sleeps 9-10hrs at night. (This last month has brought a few inconsistent nights of waking at weird times...) It would be easiest to attribute those wakings to the little specks of white on the bottom gums - teeth soon? Our pediatrician said they usually start getting teeth around 6mo but some as late as 15mo! Wow!
He still loves laughing with us or at a small startle. Timothy has been very successful at getting him to laugh a lot! Must be some new brother connection going on that sometimes we (mom and dad) don't get. Cayden is very good at grasping items big or small and even unintentionally throws them. Timothy recently picked up a thrown toy and said, "Now, don't throw it on the floor again." Once it was thrown again, Tim said, "I said don't throw it again Cayden." Oh dear...we're in for some trouble if that's the case. :) His voice continues to mature with lots of babbles and even a couple 'dada's! And he's the kid that screams...yes, we have a happy screamer on our hands. And sometimes, I can't even tell the difference between the boys screams.
Physically, he's all over the place. Not crawling, but he rotates by rolling or swiveling on his belly. And I've thought many times, 'How did you end up there?' Also, we pulled out the jumperoo - he LOVES it! He's been sitting more and more by himself.
We just started solids: he likes pumpkin, he does not like banana.
What a sweet boy we have been blessed with!
