One half of a year

Past-time for Seth's 6 month update. I'm think the monthly updates are going to be a first-baby phenomenon since I can't keep up with them and I only have one child!
It has been a wonderful month this month-one of my favorites so far. I love our laughing, smiling, happy, curious Seth.

• 27 inches tall (69th percentile)
• 17 1/2 inches head circumference (83rd percentile)- big brain, smart child
• eats 2 meals of solids plus a lunchtime snack
• loves pears and squash the best, or sucking on a peach or apple
