6 months old

Wow... it is hard to believe that Jonathan has been around for half a year! It sounds silly but it is hard to remember life with out him. Friday night was a good example.... Thomas and I used to go out every- once in a while..... we were all in bed before 8:00... ha ha. He brings us so much joy we wouldn't trade him for anything!
Here are some of his latest tricks:
He is grabby- he loves to feel different textures and he loves to find "tags" on his toys, blankies, clothes any thing!
He can roll and he is discovering that it can get him places. He is pretty hesitant at home with the laminate floors but he loves to find the chair legs at grandma's house to suck on them.
He loves to jump... he will bounce in his jumperoo and laugh until he is so tired he can't take it anymore.
He loves to be outside... he goes on stroller rides almost everyday with the Grandmas.
He is just starting to figure out how to sit up... but he is still wobbly.
He giggles and shreiks when he is happy and when you tickle him.
He loves Roxy... she is patient enough to be still and let him pet her or her to give him gentle kisses. You all know Duncan is an INSANE kisser.... so we don't let him lick too much, so he could care less. He laughs at the dogs when they are playing.
He is ALL boy, he does this "bulldozer" thing where he puts his head down and pushes his knees up to run into Thomas and I or a stuffed animal. He makes growling noises and he loves to wrestle and attack with "kisses".
He kisses the "baby in the mirror".
He is a good sleeper... he does fight it sometimes for naps, he rarely cries but when he does... he rages like his arm is broken or something is REALLY wrong (it freaks out me, Thomas, grandmas, Auntie Kaitlyn....). But eventually those little red eyes close and he is a little sleeping angel.
He is a great eater! So far he has had rice cereal carrots and banana. He has no problem switching back and forth with a bottle.
He is growing more brown hair but he is still basically bald. So far the blue eyes are staying..... I think those dimps and blue eyes will help him get away with ANYTHING!
