6 Months Old

It's hard to believe that six months have blown by already. Marcus has gone through lots of changes during that time. He has grown into this wonderful little guy who is full of so much joy. I know I've said it a thousand times, but he really is the happiest baby I've ever seen. He rarely cries, always gives smiles and is so patient and laid back. We feel so lucky to have this beautiful, precious boy.

6 Month Milestones:

• Marcus has had a sudden burst in awareness of his surroundings…whether it’s Owen playing, Mommy dancing, or even the tv or a toy playing music…Marcus gives his full attention.
• Is getting close to sitting up on his own.
• Grasping objects with both hands (transferring from hand to hand as well).
• Smiles, laughs, squeals and is beginning to imitate sounds. Has been making lots of raspberry sounds, which has to be due to teething.
• Can be content to play with a toy all by himself.
• Absolutely, positively LOVES being in the bouncer. I sometimes think he gets a little vocal and squirmy just so we'll put him in the bouncer. He gets into fits of giggles when he's jumping and Owen or Mommy jumps along with him.
