Win or lose, we still sport our team colors! Go Deadskins!

Trying to crawl underneath the piano benchI can hardly believe Chase is already 6 months old! He is growing and changing so much everyday. Here are some of the highlights and milestones from this past month:
-sitting up on his own, but still very wobbly and unstable
-rolling all over the place
-attempting to crawl, but still doesn't have the upper body strength
-fussing when he gets bored or frustrated (we hope he'll become more self-entertained with time)
-eating 3 jars of stage 1 baby food a day and drinking lots of milk (mostly formula now....my breastmilk supply is about gone, but I'm still doing what I can even if it's just a few ounces a day.....just thankful we made it to 6 months on mostly breastmilk!)
-enjoying strolls with Great Grandmother Anderson on nice Fall days
-sleeping through most nights, but occasionally wakes up in the middle of the night rolling around in the crib (will usually fall back to sleep on his own without any Mommy intervention)
-drooling and gnawing on everything (still no teeth.....thought for sure he would have had one by now!)
-reaching for everything in sight; exploring new textures
-giggling out of nowhere sometimes
-speaking "babynese," consisting of lots of "dadadadada, mamamamama, lalalalalalala" and spitting
-squealing whenever excited
-wearing mostly 9 month clothes and just graduated to size 3 diapers
-growing like a weed....don't know exact weight, but we know he's well over 16 pounds now and most pants are "high waters" on him.
-sprouting more golden blond hair (seems more of a golden blond now versus the white blond it seemed to be at birth)
-bringing Mommy and Daddy lots of joy with each passing day
Chase has a check-up with the doctor on November 3rd, so I'll be sure to fill everyone in on the latest stats.
Happy Half-Year Birthday, Chase!
