My baby boy is SIX months old!

Wow- everyone says that time goes fast and they sure are right.  I cannot believe that six months has already passed!  Caiden has already grown and changed so much and I am so blessed that I have been able to be with him every step of the way.  We don't have his six-month doctor's appointment until next week so I'm estimating his stats: 28"long and 16 pounds. 
Here are some of his milestones this month:

•  Turns toward sounds and voices
• Rolling- he is still only rolling from back to tummy, but he is really determined to get moving.  He pushes with his legs and scoots a little bit (while dragging his face across the floor!)
• He has eaten rice cereal, oatmeal, and wheat cereal.  Today for lunch we introduced PEAS!  He liked them!
• He can sit without support for a couple of minutes before tipping over. But he prefers to stand (while we hold him of course)
• He passes objects from hand to hand and puts EVERYTHING in his mouth to explore. 
• He has recently started babbling- more like talking than the squealing that he was doing before.  He still squeals though.
• He laughs a lot when we play with him and has started to play peek-a-boo a little.
• Still no teeth, but constant drooling and chewing.
• He just recently started taking a pacifier.  He won't keep it for long, but he will suck/chew on it for a little while and it seems to soothe him some.
• He is sleeping at night from about 8pm-3am, then nurses and usually goes back to sleep until 7am.  He is still not good about daytime naps unless someone is holding him or he is in the car seat/stroller.

As I said in a previous post, October has been a pretty busy month.  We have been visiting pumpkin patches, the arboretum and the zoo with my Stroller Strides moms group and next week is full of Halloween festivities.

We've also been enjoying a little post season baseball. We are big fans so we are pumped that last night the Rangers clinched the American League Championship and are headed to the WORLD SERIES!! Here's a pic of a special little fan:

I'll post again next week with an update on the Rangers and Caiden's doctor appointment!  Until then...
