Nathan is 6 months old!

Today Nathan is 6 months old! He's such a happy, good baby. He's rolling over, sitting up for a few seconds without support, sitting up much longer with support, grabbing at toys, and pushing himself along the floor with his feet. He loves to grab his feet and roll from side to side on his back. He has also found his tongue and loves to stick it out and suck on it. He's always smiling and he's really finding his voice now. He loves to talk and scream at us, in the happiest of ways. He also has discovered that he can move his arms up and down pretty fast and he's enjoying smacking them against the floor, himself, and mostly me as I carry him.

He's napping about 3-4 times a day. Usually he will have one good nap from 1-2 hours and the rest are 30-45 minute cat naps. Overnight he is still a great sleeper, usually going to sleep about 8 and not waking until 4 or 5am to nurse. Then he's back to sleep until about 7.

He is still taking medication for reflux and he still spits up quite a bit. I'm still cutting out diary and soy and I think it has really helped him, because he has stopped the almost constant groaning noises he used to make and his tummy doesn't seem to be hurting him anymore.

Nathan really, really loves Emma. He watches her all the time, and she can't wait to play with him. Every time we get in the car to go somewhere, she will put her little stuffed Bevo in his lap and say "Nathan can have my Bevo, so he won't be lonely". She is so sweet with him and loves him so much.

We've got two great kids and we are so thankful!
