Sitting

Our little man is 6 months old already... I can hardly believe it! He has gone from such a sweet, quiet bundle of joy to a wonderfully happy little man. We went to the doctor yesterday and found out that he is 27 1/2 inches long and 19lbs and 8oz and she thinks he is going to be a big boy... nice and tall like his daddy! He is learning many new skills, he can now roll over; and prefers to sleep in his side at night. He has learned to shriek at the top of his lungs; he doesn't seem to want attention from it, he just likes making the sound. He cares very much if I leave the room. And the best of all his new skills is his ability to sleep up to 9 hours at a time and go to sleep in his own crib, by himself.
One thing that he still doesn't really understand is sitting up on his own. Here he is at the aviation museum at Robins AFB, sitting very well, but he is strapped in...

He can sit on his own for 30 seconds to a minute or so, but we're not quite sure that he knows he's doing on his own.

Sometimes I prop him up in hopes that he get the concept.

He has started eating more solid foods now, and that means he gets to sit in his big boy chair!

Here we are at the commissary, and Luke has made himself very comfortable in the seat. Although he can't seem to sit up straight, he can get his feet up on the handle bars. Some day soon I know he'll get it! He is such a smart little boy!

    He looks like you so cute!! It's funny how he is a little lopsided when he tries to sit. Sophia won't sit she is to stiff she just wants to stand.


  3. Luke loves to stand too... I have to lay him down and then pull him up to the sitting postion... otherwise he won't bend
