I never want to forget these things...

I need to start a little journal to write down a the little funny things that Ian (and someday Sean) says and does. Here are two from yesterday and today:

We're driving in the van to the farm to drop Ian off on my way to work. Sean is crying (of course). All of a sudden, he just stops. After he doesn't start up again, I turn around to see what's going on and I see Ian leaning over the side of his carseat holding Sean's hand. They were just holding hands the rest of the car ride! When we stopped and I was getting Ian out, he was still holding Sean's hand and I told him he had to let go so I could unbuckle him. He said "Hold hand so Sean no cry."

Today Ian was being sassy at lunch. He threw a big fit when he saw a piece of chocolate and I said he couldn't have it till he finished his lunch. I said, "If you're going to cry, you can get down from the table." So he did. 5 or so minutes later I asked him if he wanted to try lunch again. He said "Yes, no crying like baby, no crying like baby." over and over as he climbed back into his chair. Then he ate his lunch and got his piece of chocolate.

6 months old!

I'm wayyy behind. I'll blame the holidays :)

On November 30th, Sean was 6 months old! A whole half year! How did that happen already?! At 6 months, Sean is:

* (once again) sleeping through the night
*sitting up on his own
*starting to army crawl
*laughing a LOT
*becoming afraid of strangers
* very distracted when nursing
*has TWO teeth
*eating a few pureed foods (but giving us a heck of a fight!)
*really starting to enjoy watching everything that Ian does
*loves the "ABC Song" and we have to sing it to him at every diaper change to keep him from wiggling too much
*still hates riding in the car unless we've timed it perfectly with nap time
*taking 2 long naps and occasionally a 3rd catnap
*wearing size 12 month clothing.

At his 6 month appointment, Sean was:
18 lbs 11oz
26 3/4 inches long
