Happy, Healthy, & 6 months old!

I cannot believe he is over halfway to being a year old. Time is flying by. I couldn't ask for a better little boy to call my son. God has truly blessed Daniel and I with Joshua. He is such a sweet, fun, healthy, and happy baby boy. His laugh can melt any heart.

Joshua, you have the sweetest soul. You love to laugh and hear mommy & daddy (and practically anybody) laugh. You are always trying to explore different things and seem to learn/do something new every day. You are so incredibly smart. Mommy and Daddy love you so much. You bring us more joy than I could ever express. We promise to always be there for you and provide for you in every way possible. God really answered our prayers when he gave us you. You are such a blessing.

*Accomplishments:
-20 lbs 6 oz. - 85%
-28 3/4 in long- 90% (yes, we have a big boy! He's a 1/4 inch short of the height max for his infant carrier car seat, so we had to buy a new convertible car seat). He can stay rear facing in it for as long as needed, and then it can be used forward facing as well. I really like this car seat and feel very safe with him in it.
-Rolls all over the place.
-Wants to crawl so bad- but still just kinda scoots a little bit.
-Passes toys from hand to hand
-Scrapes toys toward him.
-Still working on sitting on his own, but getting better about it
-Prefers to be standing over sitting. Makes me think he might be standing on his own before sitting on his own. haha. When I try to put him into a sitting position on the floor, he just wants to pull up into standing.
-Still teething like crazy. He gnaws on everything.
-is ticklish. Laughs so hard when you tickle him, especially his thighs.
-eats rice cereal, oatmeal, and still working on getting him to like green beans. Will also try sweet potatoes soon.
-Still waking up once or twice at night, but he is doing great sleeping in a sleep sack. He also has a blanket that he loves to sleep with now. It is great help at getting him to fall asleep.
-Gets so excited when he sees a toy or something that he really wants. It's so funny to watch him flap his arms all happy.
-Loves music. I usually listen to music and sing to him while I get ready for the day and he just stares and loves it. He also has a toy piano that he loves.
-His hair is growing a lot. It's so funny because the hair on top in the back just sticks straight up because it isn't long enough to lay down yet.
