Happy 1/2 year Van! I know I say this every month, but I cannot believe Van is 6 months old. How was it 1/2 a year ago that he was born?!? Time has flown by and we now have an active almost-crawler on our hands. This month Van continued to learn so many new things. *He can sit up unassisted with no problem. He is still trying to figure out how to get into a sitting position on his own, but he is almost there. Starting to try to tuck his leg and sit by himself.

Another month has flown by. A few highlights from the last month: *Van started eating real food! He had rice cereal and sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving and loved them.

At first he would wake up a few times during the night, but we would just pop in his paci and…

Van discovered he has a thumb that works great for putting himself to sleep. He is able to put himself back to sleep when he wakes up from naps and during the night. I know we will have to break him of it one day, but it is so nice having him sleep all night without a peep… and it is so stinking cute too 🙂 I think I am getting tired Fast asleep in his stroller Happy boy after his nap. We found him a hat like Daddy’s at Baby Gap. We just tried it on for now. P.S. Pictures were taken on my cell phone so they are…

Van doing one of the three things he does best.
