August is 27 weeks old!

This week, August:

• Turned 6 months old!
• Started eating solids! So far he has tried avocado and purple sweet potato—he’s still getting used to the whole chewing (gumming) thing:)
• Had his 6-month checkup—still a healthy boy!
• Got stung (or bit) by a yellow jacket:( We think he either got bit or that the stinger only brushed his check because the redness didn’t last very long and it didn’t seem to bother him after the initial pain (and these stings usually itch for awhile)
• Seems to have had a mental/physical growth spurt as he has been moving/babbling nonstop and hyper-aware of his surroundings (which makes mealtimes interesting trying to keep him focused;)
• First visit to the Botanical Gardens
• Has said “Da!” when he sees Dada a few times now

Some photos from August’s 27th week:

Poor baby after the bee sting:(

First meal!

Reading stories with Dada

Wee Willy Winkie runs through the town, upstairs, downstairs in his nightgown.

Baby nose:)

First visit to Botanical Gardens (first time in the children’s garden for all of us)

Sleepy bear

He spit this up (+ all the milk he recently had) shortly after this picture 

Baby boy💙

Trying out some baby-led weaning (mama eventually had to just put some in his mouth because he just wanted to smash it with his hand:)

Beftime stories with the babies💙💗

We love our beautiful baby boy!
