Getting Bigger and Smarter

So everyday Shamus is becoming less baby blob and more mover and shaker. Today we went to his six month check up. He is very quickly reaching the milestones for babies his age and older. Right now he can follow object when they are dropped out of sight, move objects from one hand to the other, turn when he hears voices or sounds, bang two objects together, pick up small object using a raking motion, moves to get objects out of reach and is also starting to sit up unassisted. He still uses his hands for support but is doing it on his own. He's not crawling yet but boy can he move. The nurse also said that the way he curls his leg under when he's sitting is a precursor to pulling himself up. His height and weight today was 22 ¼ in and 17 lbs 15.5 oz. He's getting to be such a big boy! We're still working on the solids, he just doesn't seem as interested in them as Roman was, but we're still trying! My how they grow!

Here is a pic of Sha learning how to sit up on his own.
