Isaac at 6 months

Isaac turned 6 months on the 2nd. He had his ped appt on the 1st. He weighed in at 15lbs 3oz (10%), 25" long (10%), head 18" (90%) - guess he has a big brain! He doesn't look out of proportion though. He got a clean bill of health. He is sitting up almost unassisted and can stand holding onto something but does not pull himself up. He can kind of army crawl on his belly but doesn't move too much, thank goodness! He is babbling a lot and makes all kinds of weird sounds. Isaac is a very happy baby and is so ticklish. We started solids this week. His first food was mashed potatoes. My mom was attempting to hold him and eat dinner, but he wouldn't allow the spoon to get past him. He would fuss and scream if the spoon didn't get to him fast enough. His next food was bananas, and I'm not too sure he's okay with them. The first time he had them he cried afterwards for quite some time but was okay the next day with them. Last night he fussed after having them, too. So, I'm going to try something else this evening, and re-try bananas in a few weeks. Last week he showed no interest in food, but over the weekend he decided it was time to start grabbing and reaching for our food and drinks. He thinks everything should be his, too. We stopped to get ice cream this afternoon after the Children's Museum. I had to walk out with mine because Isaac would not stop fussing and reaching for it. This was J.K.'s (2.5) first trip to an ice cream shop; he was in heaven with all the different flavors. We went by the market today and bought a bunch of different fruits and veggies. Tomorrow I will be cooking batches of baby food to freeze.

J.K. is still being a wonderful big brother. His latest is trying to get Isaac to play with him and his puzzles. I am looking forward to Isaac sitting unassisted so he can interact with J.K. more. Isaac can wait on moving though! Isaac's lack of movement encourages J.K. to sit still for a moment!
