Half a Year!

Pierce celebrated his 6 month birthday yesterday, and it's amazing how much he has changed. Below you'll see a picture from day 1 and a photo from his 6 month birthday (thanks for capturing, Nana!). He changes everyday and it's been wonderful watching his growth for the last 6 months. It's hard to believe he is halfway to 1!Pierce had his 6 month doctor's appointment last week and is sprouting like crazy. He is still very long at 27.5 in (85%) and had a huge jump weight-wise. He is 16 lbs. 12 oz. (42%)--up from 13% at 4 mos. Solid food has been his friend! He continues to love everything he eats and has tried the following: sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, zucchini and bananas. He got the green light to eat all fruits and veggies except fruits with seeds on the outside (like strawberries) and that we can introduce them more quickly. Pears are next on the list!

We've been spoiled by having Nana and Pops out here for the last week babysitting and visiting. Pierce decided to bring out all of his smiles, laughs and tricks for their visit, including a new chin-down move on his activity mat (see video below). We had a great time visiting with Nana and Pops, and celebrating Pierce's first Valentine's day with both sets of grandparents. We'll all have the chance to get together again over Easter.
