Peter turned 6 months on my sister's birthday. It was also the day we left on our trip. Maybe it was being stuck in the car for several hours that motivated him, but that was also the day Peter became mobile. He is now a little scooting demon. He loves to get out and explore the world and find new things to grab onto. It is fun to watch him. It has also created a new dimension in the family relationships as he can scoot his way into Ammon's territory. Ammon has been really good about it, though. I taught him that if Peter takes one if his toys, Ammon can find Peter somthing new and trade it back. He seems to work well.
At his 6 month doctor appointment, which we did a few days early, we learned that Peter is 28 inches. Yes, you heard right, 28. That boy is tall! He is also 18 1/2 lbs. The doctor said that he is bigger than half of the 9 month old babies and that he is projecting an adult height of 6'2".
The other landmark at 6 months that we've gotten to is that Peter cut his first tooth this past Sunday. It was an abnormally fussy day although not unrelenting or terrible. Peter just wasn't his normal happy self. At the end of the day I wised up and checked his mouth. Sure enough, I could feel the point of a new tooth. Teething must be such a miserable process! I do not envy any child for that.
In the last month to month and a half, Peter has become alive with personality. He is such a happy boy and I just love seeing him smile. He is VERY tickleish. He loves to laugh, especially when someone is playing with him. In the more recent week, he has become quite the explorer. I just adore this beautiful boy!
