Six months old!

Rigley is 6 months old today. On one hand, I can't believe he is that old already - on the other, it seems like he's always been part of the family.

Here is what Rigley is like at 6 months:
  • He really enjoys his brother now and laughs at him frequently. He also tries to grab him and has started trying to get his toys.
  • He rolled over in his casts and has done it in the brace, too. In fact, he spent one day rolling back and forth. However, now he won't do it unless heavily coaxed and even then it's not a guarantee. We've determined he can do it, but he chooses not to.
  • He hates tummy time, seriously hates it. He will scream the entire time. Brighton did the same thing.
  • He can hold himself in a sitting position pretty well. He still tips over from time to time, but he can sit by himself for longer periods each day.
  • He can easily get to sitting from laying down with a slight incline, like the Boppy behind him, and just today made it all the way to sitting from laying flat on the floor.
  • He babbles - sometimes you can hear "da,da" and in distress you can usually make out, "mmmm-mom"
  • He is so much bigger than Brighton was at this age; granted he started out much larger as well. He is wearing 12 month clothes already!


Brighton isn't fond of me taking Rigley's picture without him being in the shot, so here are a few with both boys.

Happy 6 months Rigley!! Just so you know, Beau doesn't like Lucy getting her pic w/o him either. Must be a 1st child syndrome.
