A Very Merry Half-Birthday.......

Deacon turned 6 months on the 1st. It is so hard to believe that he is halfway to turning One!
The last 2 weeks he has been sitting up. He has gotten progressively stronger and no longer needs support. He is also able to lean over and grab whatever toys are around him.

They always go right to his mouth! Still waiting on those 2 top teeth!
Reaching for his tractor- one of his favorite toys.

Showing off!

You can sort of see his 2 bottom teeth here.

He fell asleep sitting up on the couch the other night. It was so funny!

A true man - master of the remote!
He is also trying to scoot - he doesn't get very far, but he will lay down from sitting, turn in a circle, and try to use his head to move himself. I think he will be crawling very soon!

We go to the doctor next Tuesday for his 6 month checkup. He is still VERY sweet, of course. When we go to drop of Lola and pick her up from school, he starts smiling as soon as we see all the kids in the hallways. The teachers and other parents always say, "Look at that baby! He is so happy!" He loves his sister so much - he will hear her voice in another room and look around for her, and then smile and laugh and reach for her when she comes into the room. We love him so much.
