1/2 a year old!!!!!!!!!

What the heck...Ty is 1/2 a year old already!!!!!!!!! I can't believe, he is growing so fast!!! We finally got Ty a real high chair to sit in and he seems to like it a lot! He is eating a lot of solids lately..For "breakfast" (I put that in quotes because the meal is not at the usual breakfast time, but sometime during the day before dinner) he eats about a size 1 jar of a fruit (so far he's had apples and bananas) mixed with rice cereal. Then he usually eats about a size one jar of vegetables and at times a little bit more for dinner. So far he has had, sweet potatoes, carrots, squash,peas. and green beans. His favorites are sweet potatoes and squash. Carrots, peas, and the fruits are just okay. When he tried green beans, he ate the first four bites and seemed like he was okay with them (I was surprised because they made his older brothers gag every time they ate them) but on the 5th bite he actually "tasted" what he was eating and gagged..so I tried another bite and he gagged again..so I mixed them with sweet potatoes..and the ate both jars mixed together. We have also given him the little Gerber puffs, in sweet potato flavor and he loves those. He is so cute when he eats them because he smacks his little lips as he is chewing! We also tried the sippy cup with water and he sucked on it, but didn't really care about what was coming out of it..he mostly wanted to play with it.

At his check-up the doctor had nothing but good things to say about him. He was really cute smiling at her the entire time and was really into everything that was going on in the room. Ty was cracking her up because everything she would do, he would give her a huge smile or some sort of look. He weighs 18 pounds 6 ounces and is 27 and 1/4 inches tall. Still right around the 75th percentile.

He is still rolling over from back to front...as soon as I lay him down he almost automatically rolls over then yells because he hates being on his stomach..and hates even more rolling from his stomach to his back, even though he can actually do it. He is almost sitting up on his own without support and we have been taking him out of his infant car seat and letting him sit in the cart or highchair..thanks to cute seat cover his Aunt Ashlie got for him. Ty is quite the little chatter box lately..he love squeal and blow his little lips together. He is still sleeping in his own room in the crib from about 8ish at night to about 7:30ish in the moning.

Sitting in his new high chair!!!

In the front of the stroller like a big boy (Trey is mad that he doesn't get to sit in the front)
Sitting up in the shopping cart..he's such a big boy now!
Now he's sitting in a high chair at a resturant
Almost sitting up on his own!
His cute face after eating some peas!
I love his gummy smile!
