6 Months Old

Burke is six months old going on 10 months.  He never ceases to amaze me.  He is growing up so quickly and progressing faster than I remember with Brynn.  Since last month he is now crawling.  The army crawl still comes out every once in awhile but for the most part is full on crawling.  He is sitting up tall like a big boy.  And can get to the seated position all by himself.  He is pulling himself up.  And just the other day when we went to get him out of his crib in the morning he was standing up giggling and bouncing.  He was pretty much looking at me saying “mommy look at me”. Let’s just say we were very quick to drop his crib down after that.  More importantly after a break-through at Grandmas, Burke is eating solid foods.  It started off a little rough but now he is eating it with no problems.  He loves it all!!  But he does like to do it himself.  Luckily he will now eat from a spoon and let me guide him.
