Can it really be possible?! We have a 6-month-old! Josiah is 6 months old today. He is a happy, loving little boy and we could not be more blessed with this little one! He is absolutely the joy of our lives!
Josiah is sitting up pretty well these days. Of course he needs a little help getting to the sitting position but once he is there, he is doing a great job balancing himself, especially when he has a toy to play with/stablize him.
His Little Personality: He giggles all the time. He loves to be tickled. He loves Shep so much! In fact, he gets way more excited when Shep enters the room than when either of his parents do. He loves to be held and is very much a snuggler. He is extremely interested in faces and is totally entertained by his father's antics. He loves to touch our faces and talk to us while we make goofy faces at him. He drools constantly but has no teeth yet. He also has a little temper that tends to flair up when he feels like there is no reason that he is not being held at any given time of day. He is very social and so far has been willing to make friends with just about anyone.
This is one of his favorite toys. He and I were sitting at it playing the other day and he decided to stand instead! Look at those strong legs. This was a very quick picture with my hand just out of camera view-promise!
Josiah is eating his veggies now! We started solids a few weeks ago, but we really started being consistent with him last week. He has been eating (and liking) green beans, banana, squash, avocado, sweet potato and rice. We are starting him pretty slowly since I had so many food allergies as a child but so far, so good! Caleb and I are making our own baby food. We think we have a good system now of making four or five different kinds of veggies, etc on a weekend and freezing it for the week. We are using the ice cube tray method and since we are not the most gifted domestic engineers, we are pretty proud of ourselves for this one. (Not willing to use cloth diapers, but can make baby food like nobody's business!)
Josiah loving his green beans!
Caleb and I get a break now and then when he decides to hold his own bottle.
We have Si's 6-month check-up next week. He has had one little cold, but over all has been so incredibly healthy. I am a little worried about the flat spot on his head...that no doubt can be attributed to the 12 hours of sleep he gets every night. So far, our doctor has not thought it was a big deal, or at least a big enough deal to put a helmet on him yet. Thankfully, he is starting to sleep more on his side and stomache on his own in recent weeks, so hopefully we won't have too much more trouble with the flat head thing...seriously could be a problem for a bald kid.
These first 6 months flew by and we are so excited for the next 6.

Anna, Josiah is absolutely adorable! I can't believe how big he is getting and all the amazing things he is doing! I am SOOOOO sad that we missed you guys at Christmas. It is such a busy time of year for everyone and you just can't do it all I guess :-) I am totally jealous that you are back home in 70 degree weather. Now that the holidays are over I am ready for spring! Hope all is well with you guys. We will definitely have to try and get together when you guys are in town next time, or better yet, maybe we will just fly to Arizona when we get tired of all the snow and cold :-) Take care!
Just wanted to tell you that the other day out of nowhere Elisa said, "Baby Josiah" It was so funny. Today I was opening all the Christmas cards that we got while we were gone and I showed Elisa yours. She loved it - maybe she has a little crush on Josiah :-) But more likely, she just likes the way his name rolls off her tongue.
You have one precious baby Anna! I am so happy for this time of your life!
