6 months old!

Today, Nathan is 6 months old. It's hard to believe it's already been 6 months since he came into our lives on Christmas day! We can't imagine our lives without him. And our love for him grows every day. Everyone comments on how he's such a smiley and happy baby. And it's true - he is always ready with a smile and is a good-natured baby. We are blessed. And we are amazed by God's love in giving him to us and miraculously healing him the first few weeks of his life.

And he's growing by leaps and bounds. It seems he grows out of his clothes before he has a chance to wear them much - he's into size 9 month clothing (and still wearing 6 months). He has started eating cereal (as you can see from the photos). He seems to like it and got the hang of it pretty quickly. He loves to jump and bounce while being held (he is full of some serious energy most of the time). He is turning over and is almost sitting by himself. We haven't been able to get a "mama" or "papa" out of him yet, but we're confident that we will soon. No teeth yet, but he sure likes to drool and put everything in his mouth. He loves to be with his daddy.
