month six

January 8-February 7

Look at what Miller has accomplished this month!

Enjoying tummy time. He is able to lift his whole chest off the ground by pushing with his arms and arching his back. He loves to rock back and forth while kicking his legs and swimming with his arms.

Close-up. We get lots of comments on his beautiful eyes!

Sitting up! This is one of his biggest achievements this month. This picture was taken on February 2, but it is hard to pinpoint an exact day that he started sitting up. It has been a gradual process that started around Christmas time. He would sit momentarily without support. Now he is able to sit for at least 30 minutes without support. He loves to sit and play with his toys. It gives him a whole new outlook on life!

Pushing up. Miller like to play on his tummy and can drag toys toward himself. Miller also still loves to roll from his tummy to his back and his back to his tummy. His movements are becoming more fluid and he is much quicker! We really have to keep an eye on him!

Miller with his buddy Scout. It almost always brings a smile to his face. Another favorite past-time for Miller is talking. He even says things like "mamamama". He is also developing quite a personality and grunts when he is mad. He does this when we are feeding him solid foods sometimes. He also likes to blow raspberries when he has food in his mouth, spitting the food everywhere. He has now eaten carrots in addition to bananas and rice cereal. He is still not a big fan of solid foods, but we will keep trying. Eventually he will get the hang of it.

Such a big boy! We don't even have to prop him in the rocking chair for his monthly photos anymore. He is able to sit all by himself!

He is very interested in his shoes and shoelaces.

Six months old! We fall more and more in love every day!

Miller and his Christmas present from Nana Debbie and Poppa Curtis. At first, he wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Then, all of a sudden, on January 12, he started jumping and hasn't stopped. He loves it!
