First Half-Birthday

Last Friday, this little guy celebrated his first six months out in society!  A social butterfly, he's all smiles when someone is holding him or talking directly to him...and it doesn't matter who.  But make him sit by himself, and you'd think the world was coming to an end! Seriously, though, he's such a joy to be around, and he's dug himself deep into our hearts such that we can't imagine life without him.  

Here are some other things Tobin is digging right now:

• his big brother's laugh and silly faces
• Daddy's face
• Mommy's milk, 4 or 5 times a day
• solid, pureed foods (homemade cereal, green beans, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, lima beans, and applesauce)
• rolling over onto his back and getting stuck
• crawling/scooting backwards
• chewing on anything he can get his hands on
• drooling all over anyone who gets close enough 
• sleeping 10-12 hours nearly every night 
• trying to eat grass
• standing on the lap of anyone who will hold him up (sitting is for wimps)
• watching other kids play
• sticking his tongue out when he's happy

We sure love our Goober-Nut.
