Nolan turned 26 weeks old yesterday, and will be 6 months by date tomorrow, so either way you cut it, he is half a year old. Not only can he sit up, he has started speaking up again, really babbling in the past few days.


He finally showed off his teeth for the camera without being forced!

This thing has been one of his favorite toys from the beginning, when all he did was look at it and smile.


He loves playing peekaboo under a washcloth, and pulls it off so fast I scarcely have time to ask, “Where’s the baby?” anymore.

Now that Nolan is 6 months old, we decided to start trying solids with him. His first meal consisted of mashed avocado, and there are a few more pictures of it on my food blog, The Persnickety Palate, if you are interested.

I love the second picture! His eyes are open so wide!
