I am six months old today... a whole half a year! Momma and Daddy can't believe it. I am turning into such an adorable little man.... working on big boy things like sitting up, drooling all over the place thanks to those teeth still below the surface, and starting solid foods. I am still such a happy-go-lucky guy who is highly social -- I love each new person I meet and reward their interactions with me with big smiles if they stop to baby-talk to me. I have recently discovered that I have a good amount of strength and like to use someone's hands/help to pull myself up from laying down to a sitting position. I am just thrilled with myself when I get up and I can stay that way for about a minute before toppling over. I also like flailing my arms around when I get excited, so watch out if you're in my way! Oh, and gouging people's eyes out is a side-effect of my new hobby of exploring people's faces with my hands. My hands are quite the amazing thing, I've discovered... they also like to pull my pacifier out when it's in my mouth and then proceed to play with it - even when I'm asleep. I love any Jumparoo/Exersaucer that I'm placed in and get quite busy exploring all the toys. I much prefer these activities to laying down on an activity center or blanket nowadays. Oh, and I'd be remiss if I did not mention my real favorite hobby - putting anything and everything in my mouth... blankets, toys, other people's hands, Momma's knee or chin.... anything (except solid foods) is fair game. :) I still want milk about every couple hours and I like to nap every couple hours during the day as well. Sleeping for long chunks at night is sometimes cool and sometimes lame as far as I'm concerned. I love being cuddled and love riding in the Ergo or Baby Bjorn with Mom & Dad. And that's my life at 6 months!
Now, please enjoy these adorable photos from the photo shoot we did with the whole family to celebrate my half-year birthday at Portrait Simple in the Warwick Mall. We were so happy with all the special shots we got!
This one's being entered in a contest. I'm sure I'll win it!
It's also special because there are photos of baby Momma and baby Gamma with a similar hat, so I'm following that trend. 
Still a little room to grow!
Highlighting my baby blues!
Having fun with props.... inspired by my diaper cover. I AM a hoot!
They call me "Little E!"
How YOU doin'?
Howdy, pardner!
Now for the whole family shots!
Here are some of our little family!
