Time Passes Quickly

Warning:  Much Baby Content!

It's hard to believe that my little guy is already six and one-half months old!  He has changed so much since he was born.  Right now he is laying next to me on the couch playing with a couple toys and "talking".

Things he can do:
- Roll both from back to front and from front to back.  (He hasn't used it much for getting around yet).
- "Talk" - just all the random sounds that he makes at all different volumes.  Sometimes he has a high pitched squeal and other times it's almost a whisper.
- Eat!  So far, we have had rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, and green beans.  He really seemed to like the green beans.
- Be Possessive.  If he has something and you take it away, he is going to let you know, in no uncertain terms, that he doesn't like you taking it away!  (The good part is that he is still easily distracted, so the item can usually be replaced with something more appropriate.)
- Learn how to control things. When he was first introduced to his activity table, he just banged on everything.  Now, he has learned that some things spin and some need to be pulled/pushed.
- Sleep through the night (most of the time).  There are some nights when he wakes up in the middle of the night and then again at five, demanding to be comforted and fed.  Most nights though, he goes to bed about nine or ten and sleeps until about seven, then lays in bed talking to himself until I go in and get him.
- Transfer items from one hand to another and so many other developmental benchmarks. (I even saw him pick up something using the pincer grasp the other day).
- Grab... he grabs EVERYTHING even remotely within his reach.  He will lunge off your lap or out of your arms in effort to grab something he sees.  He seems to have a special fondness for cords and cables.

I'm now getting a little bit of help as he tries to drag the corner of the laptop into his mouth.  :)
Anyway... it's definitely amazing to see how much he has grown and matured over the past few months.
