On Friday April 23 RL reached the midway point in his first year! He is continuing to add new foods and skills each week and is right on the verge of some biggies, like sitting up. I discovered earlier this week that he seems to have become a tummy-sleeper, rolling over before going to sleep or while he's sleeping. He's been sleeping well as long as he has a lovie to chew on...all the girls loved their lovies, but he has found a completely new way to show his affection! He had his first taste of meat (babyfood turkey with squash) on his half-birthday. An appropriate way to celebrate, his Daddy would say! That day we also went for his well-check and he weighed a bit over 17 pounds, so percentile-wise he's continuing to slim down but is still longer/taller than average. Most of the time he is a happy, easy-going guy...and I think when he gets the hang of sitting up it will make things way easier for me and more enjoyable for him!
Great grin
Hanging out with his Dad
AG went with us to the doctor that day; she had reminded me earlier that week that she was due for a well-check too! So glad she thinks about things like that and will actually tell me when I forget...and she didn't even know it wasn't a shot year :) So we had the 6 year/6 month combo visit...pretty neat.
Stealing kisses...I don't think he minds. Notice how his hair and eyebrows have a reddish tint? Just like AG's when she was a baby (and now in the right light)...he definitely reminds me of her the most at this point.
One new trick: open mouth, insert foot

How sweet. James is 5 months and will be 6 months on May 23. The funny thing is he ALSO looks most like our oldest, Naomi. Thanks for the reminder to make his well check!
