Eli's half birthday

A quick glance at the calendar this morning stopped me in my tracks.  Eli's 6 months old today!  Whaaaat?  Where does the time go?

Some things he's up to:

*rolling over.  as soon as you put him down.  usually from his back to his tummy, and then he gets stuck.  he hasn't quite mastered from his tummy to his back yet.
*he sleeps on his tummy now.  i still lay him down on his back, but he rolls over almost every time.
*showing a big interest in food.  so now, i will give him chunks of whatever vegetable or fruit i'm munching on.  he loves to gum it, and smash it, and throw it everywhere.
*he has 2 little teeth!  they haven't popped all the way out yet, but they're there!
*sleeps through the night....he already did this, but now he sleep longer...from like 9 to 6 usually =)
*can sit up all by himself for a few minutes.  and then he face plants.
*his current weight is 17 lbs 3 oz.....and 21 inches long.  crazy!  he's growing like a weed.

it's amazing to me how much babies change in the span of 6 months.  i'm looking forward to the next 6 months!
