Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!
I will note that Terren still isn't crawling and nor does he have teeth. He did however pull himself up in his crib and started climbing the two steps in his daycare mommy's living room - neither safe, but I guess he doesn't have any teeth to knock out :o)

Bath Time!
This is definitely one of Terren's most favorite times of the day. He loves splashing in the water!
Other milestones and notes for me...
He has discovered the joy of his own voice. The moment you start patting his back or bouncing him on your lap, the vocal chords start moving. He does the same thing the moment we pull onto a gravel road.
The day we took him for his 6 month visit, he started babbling and it continues on with mamababadadadadadada and I think I have heard a gaga a time or two as well.
He still isn't crawling and still no teeth.
He continues to sit and play independently and loves blinking lights and music.
I have started using the play pen because now that he scoots ALL over the house, he has discovered and eats my plants, TV cords, computer corders, lamp cords, curtains, shoes, remotes, cell phones, paper, magazines, and any other random things lying about. We have to be extra careful and very observant. Tayten usually does very well and picks up anything he doesn't want his brother to have, but he has accidentally dropped a coin or two or left "no-no" toys out (pom poms, jump ropes, BBs he's been collecting from outside).
He eats well and has been sleeping all night for almost an entire month now. He has been going to bed at 7:30, but we still wake him long enough to give him a bottle and change his diaper.
He does wake briefly some nights, but he is now able to search for and retrieve his pacifier all by himself. If he doesn't stop crying after 30 seconds, it usually means he has managed to push the pacifier out of the crib or he has overfilled his diaper.
He loves to be outside.
He loves other kids, especially his big brother.

His First Real Baseball Cap
And it is worn the only way Daddy doesn't like it!
Auntie Andy bought it when her family had taken their vacation to Denver (which you can read all about over on her blog...or not...). It is still a little too big, but it is so cute. She purchased it a the Bass Pro Shop and on the front it says 'My First Fishing Hat'.

We Need a Change
Our little man has just about perfected his eating skills! The first few weeks of cereal was quite messy because every time we put food in his mouth, his little tongue would push it out, which is to be expected, right? He has been eating cereal every morning after his 9 am bottle and a week ago we started veggies after is 6 pm bottle. He has had green beans and squash and tonight, we'll be introducing something new.
I am thinking we need to readjust his schedule a bit. Right now he has a 4-6 ounce bottle at 6 am, 9 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, 6 pm, and 9 pm and food twice daily. He still wants to eat every three hours, but I have had to wake him in the morning and keep him awake til feeding time at night. We'll need to adjust to accommodate his sleeping schedule and hopefully we can do so without disrupting the harmony :o) He has been sleeping through the night since we returned for our mini vacation and I have definitely been enjoying it! Soon enough that will change too...
I am still waiting for his little toothers to start poking through. There is still no sign of any teeth. I am hoping he'll do as well as Tayten. Tayten never fussed or drooled. We were always surprised to find new little chompers! Tayten had his first tooth 3 days shy of the six month mark, which has already come and gone with Terren. Soon enough...
Terren is getting closer to crawling everyday. He still scoots/army crawls all around the house but he pushes himself to his knees constantly. We've caught him a couple of times moving forward on his knees, but only moving his little legs forward one or two times.
He has also been pulling himself up. No, not on furniture or anything, but if I sit cross legged in front of him, he will pull on my clothes until he his in standing position. If you put your hands out, he will also grab a hold and pull himself up. He loves to stand and although he shouldn't have experienced this yet, he loves to be upside down. I usually grab his little hips and flip him and he giggles. I only do it when nothing else turns the frown up-side-down.
Come back soon. I promise to post some new pictures!
