Our Little Monkey at 6 Months
I love this month's monkey pic because it kinda looks like the monkey just told Luca a joke! He is seriously the happiest baby all of the time. It doesn't take much to get him to smile and it is absolutely heart-warming every time. He has become quite a little wiggleworm, scooting around on a blanket, all over the crib throughout the night, and making it harder to change his diaper. Nonna says that Tony was a little devil at this age, she could hardly catch him! I know my days are numbered where I can just put him in one place and know he'll stay there. So far, he has liked every food I've tried with him, including carrots, squash, and peas and he is really starting to reach for things more - I can't wait until he is able to reach for me with his arms stretched out! He is making all kinds of sounds now, which we have all tried to interpret as Mama, Dada, and Nonna - while he is undeniably making the sounds of these words, we must admit he still doesn't know what they are (but we can still pretend he does)! He also really pays attention to every sound he hears - every voice, the TV, a helicopter outside, etc. He seems fascinated by every new sound, looking at me so as to ask, "What was that sound, Mommy?!" I think he will be a very curious kid. I think my favorite thing that he has started to do this month is to give "kisses" - it's actually just him opening his mouth really big and putting it on my cheek, but I'm assuming he's trying to kiss me : ) Posted here are some of my favorite snapshots from the past month, hanging out in his bouncer while I'm getting ready in the morning, cuddling his monkey after waking up from a nap, practicing sitting up on his own (we have a little ways to go on this trick!), modeling his new monkey pirate hat from Auntie Monika, finally getting the hang of his pacimal (a combination pacifier and stuffed animal)...and finishing up a nap after getting home from runnng errands with Mommy. I just love this little guy!!!
