Mister Boy: 6 Months Old

Yes indeed, this guy is 6 months old today.  I can't believe it!  Half a year, just like that.  Craaaaazy!  Here are a few things to ponder:

A few more stats...
Personality-Maverick's personality is really starting to shine through!  What we have learned so far is that he is super smart, intense, silly and curious.  He gets frustrated when he is unable to do something and he flashes his beautiful smile to strangers every chance he gets.
Physical Milestones-Mav has mastered sitting up and rolling every which way.  Now he is trying desperately to crawl, already rocking on his hands and knees and lunging forward.  He's also working on getting into the sitting position from his stomach, which is some hard stuff!  He is "talking" like crazy and using "ga" and "da" sounds.  His latest favorite is screeching and screaming.
Eating-we are still breastfeeding!  Yay us!  He recently started solids and has eaten banana and avocado so far.  He loves banana.  We are taking the whole food thing slowly, just letting him explore textures and flavors right now.  Breast milk is his main source of nutrition, but he digs food.  We are working on getting him used to the sippy cup (he was only given a bottle once).
Teeth-None yet, but he's teething and seems to be working on something.
Sleeping-Maverick is a tough one to nap!  He takes a morning nap around 9:30am and usually an afternoon nap around 2pm.  Some days he naps for up to 2 hours, but mostly I am lucky if it's an hour.  He also snoozes here and there if he is in his Ergo carrier or car seat.  He sleeps with us at night and still wakes a few times to nurse a little.  I know that someday he will sleep through the night (or at least 6 hours straight), someday, right?!!

Maverick enjoys diaper changes, watching everything Miya does, his daily walks, peek-a-boo and playing with his hands and feet.  He is finally getting better in the car seat too (thank baby jesus!).
Basically, we are falling more and more in love with him each and every day!  I am so excited to see him grow each month.  He has changed our lives forever and I never knew my heart could feel this much love.
       Beanie, we love you!
