still cute, still sick

This is a particularly drowsy picture of Ari. He just has a running nose that makes it hard to nurse and sleep. He still likes to play and wiggle, just a little slower than usual.

sick baby + sick mommy = cuddling and watching movies all day

It also equals taking his temperature in a not so fun place and lots of calls to the pediatrician's office.

been sleepin' through the night . . . kind of

His Doc said that I need to start pushing him to sleep through the night so it doesn't become a bigger problem as he starts getting older. It. Is. Hard. Ari is very persistent.

the stats

We just got back from Ari's 6 month check-up. He is 21 pounds and 28 inches long. His doc says he is doing good!

6 months of cute

He really, really likes Photo Booth.

sneaky mommy

I put some rice cereal in his milk, and he fed it to himself. . . soooooo cute!

the teeth

Here is a good shot of the two teeth that Ari has had for about a month and a half. He loves to use them.

Rice Cereal!

I started rice cereal today! He isn't quite 6 months yet, but I can't do the sleepless night thing anymore -- it is making me very grumpy. He ate some of it with a scowl on his face. I don't think it did any permanent damage. This picture was taken shortly after.

Toys!

I didn't think Ari would be interested in toys yet, but he is really into all his Christmas presents. I feel like I have been depriving him or something. Oh well, he is happy now.
