Egan at 6 months
Egan is now 6 months old. He can sit up by himself. He sat in a high chair at a restaurant last night for the first time, no problem. He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth and smiles and seems really proud of himself. Or he lifts into a plank on hands and toes. But he still can’t figure out how to go forward into a crawl. He can move forward by putting his head down, lifting his butt and “scooting” across the floor, basically doing “the worm” in slow motion. However, he more often goes sideways or backwards, instead of forwards. He loves his Exersaucer and still loves the jumper seat.
He started eating real food last week. He’s been eating rice cereal for about a month and enjoying it and getting better at it. We started with fresh mashed avocado, which he hated. We then tried jarred sweet potatoes, which he loved, after his second try. This morning we tried jarred bananas. He again made a face at first, but then ate most of the bowl.
He makes “goo goo” sounds, but no other consonant sounds yet. And still no teeth.
