Our baby is now half a year old! This sure is going way too fast...

In recent months he has developed a more active personality -- not quite so content to just sit and watch us anymore! He has decided he has some hopes and plans in this life and has been trying very hard to crawl to get to where he wants to go. Right now his attempts usually look like he is swimming -- can't quite figure out the "go forward" button. He's got pivoting, traveling in circles and reversing all down pat, though. This is the typical scene these days: I put him down on his blanket, and a few minutes later come back to this:

His favorite two positions are to be either perched on my right hip, with his legs kicking wildly like a frog, or to be nestled into my neck sucking his thumb. Man, it's great being his mom!
