Jasper at Six Months

Jasper has been lunging!  He does pushups, gets up on his toes with his butt in the air, then lunges forward.  Repeat, repeat until he gets to where he wants to go... Oh and he goes far sometimes! He gets something like the stereo, the christmas tree lights, etc. and he goes for it.  

His new thing is reaching for stuff on the ottoman, crawling into the bathroom and the kitchen! He is very mobile and loves a good laugh.  We laugh and giggle throughout the day and he loves it when i am on his level...who doesn't? so I play with him wherever he is... 

I am just starting to let him cry it out to go to sleep by himself.  It is the toughest thing for a mother to hear their child cry; but in the long run, he will eventually go to sleep without having to be rocked or sung to for twenty minutes.  Like right now... he just fell asleep after fussing for five minutes (afternoon nap-time).

He loves walks in the morning. He needs to get out of the house and it gives him a nice cushion for a morning nap.  

Oh, he's babbling too...da. da. uhda. meu!... yeah, it's cute and i love his growl... I started him on this while we were in Utah...  Arrrrh, like a pirate.  Then it turned into a growl!  Like a bear! now he's all about it....   What have i begun?!
