Dylan turned 6 months old on March 10 - it is hard to believe he has been here for half a year already! This little guy has a smile that can light up a room and he flashes it freely to everyone. His nanny (the woman that takes care of him) says, "He's a charmer with that smile".
At his 6 month checkup he weighed 16 pounds -14 ounces (between the 25th and 50th percentile) and measured 28 inches long (97th percentile). He is such a wiggle worm that changing his diaper or getting him to lay still is almost impossible. I usually keep a toy on hand to give him something to do while changing him. When the nurse tried to weigh him at his appointment, he didn't want to sit or lay still even for the few seconds it took for her to adjust the scale. She ended up letting him go to his belly and giving him her tape measure to play with. She kept saying, "Oh my" and "Wow, he's busy."
His eyes have turned to a bright blue. He always has them wide open so he doesn't miss anything!
He loves to eat! We recently gave him rice crackers to try and he is doing great feeding himself. So far, he seems to like all the food we have given him to try (except green beans). His menu consists of avacado, banana, papaya, plums, prunes, pears, apples, carrots, sweet potato, squash, peas, rice cereal, and oatmeal.
He has been army crawling around the house now for about 2 months, but has recently perfected his army crawling, using his left arm/elbow to pull him self forward while keeping his right hand free to get into trouble. In the past two weeks he has been coming up to all fours and rocking - he'll be crawling soon!
Dylan loves Marley! When we come home he watches her and laughs as she runs around excited that we are home. She is so good with him- she just lays there as he "pets" her and he doesn't seem to mind an occasional lick from her either ;)
Here are a few video snippets from the past month. The "blowing bubbles" has no sound...first day with my new iPhone.
