We've been very busy lately, and Will has been growing so much. We are also up to two solid food meals a day. Thus far he's had rice cereal, oatmeal, multigrain cereal, banana, avocado, sweet potatoes, acorn squash, butternut squash, carrots, peas, pears, mango and prunes. About the only thing he hasn't cared for is the mango, although avocado isn't as enjoyable now. He had his 6 month appointment earlier in the month and the measurements were 18 lb 9 oz (65 percentile) and 28 inches (90th percentile). Reality hit us in that Will was getting close to the maximum size for his car seat and we needed to get a bigger one. He seems to like the new one now as he is more upright and doesn't seem as boxed in.
Catherine likes to joke that she can tell Will is a Konopka boy since he's always reaching for the remote. Grandma send him one of her old remotes so that he could have one of his own to play with, which Will really appreciated.
Will has started trying to mimic some of the things we do. He already loves playing with water bottles, whether grabbing/rolling them or using them as a chew toy. Catherine worked out this shake and "drink" game with Will that he did a pretty good job with.
One unfortunate side effect though was that once we started trying to introduce water to Will in a sippie cup (without the "stopper" so he got some flow to help learn), he started replicating this game. It send water flying out of the little opening and all over Michael. Oh well...
Paddy cake is one of Will's favorite games. Recently Michael has been trying to teach Will to clap his hands. It sort of works. Will is far more interested in grabbing your hands and clapping them. It's a start.
