Six months...halfway to ONE!

Time is flying. I feel like suddenly Miles and I are going to turn around and poof! we will be old and wrinkly grandparents. Crazy.
But for now, we're having SUCH a fun time with Colban. The older he gets, the more fun he is, with his little personality coming out more all the time. Most mornings he wakes up smiling and happy to see us, and will sometimes wait in his crib with his head down and eyes closed until he hears us move, and then pop up with a big grin.
In month six Colban's mastered sitting up alone, and his new big one: CRAWLING! Okay, it's still pretty scoot-ish, but he's so fast and mobile that I'm counting it for a crawl. Here's a video from a little while ago:

We also started him on some rice cereal, and he's getting good at eating from a spoon. He also definitely understands the word "milk" in baby sign. We haven't done too much baby sign yet, but I'm excited for when he'll be able to sign back!


First trip to the park, complete with a ride in the swing! He had a lot of fun pulling up the grass.





Travis, Kira and Jane came down for a visit, and we got to go to the Los Angeles zoo together--another first for Colban. We also slept over at the Marks's house and Colban went for a swim in the(not-so-hot) hot tub!
 His favorites this month:
--the computer mouse. He LOOOVES it, and will dive for it any time he's near enough
--spoons, and banging them on the floor, tables
--grabbing everyone's face. Ow!
--cars. He of course loves to be outside, but most of all he likes to watch cars and buses go by
--he really seems to like classical music. YAY!! He especially seems to perk up when the brass comes in.
--Daddy! He is soooo excited every day when Miles comes home, and yesterday crawled right over to him as soon as he came in. Aww my heart!
