6 months (and 10 days) old

It's crazy, but last Friday, Davis turned six months old. I can't believe how fast the time has gone! We love having him in our family, and he and Landon have especially become best buddies over the past month as Davis has grown. It will be fun to see them enjoy being together as Davis gets older. We took Davis in for his six month appointment, and he weighed in at 19lbs 6 0z (80th percentile), and he was 27 inches long (75th percentile). He is about the exact same size that Landon was at this age. Here are some things about him:

• He can crawl now, and has recently discovered that our house is quite bigger than just the living room, where he normally starts out playing. I have to keep the bathroom door shut as he usually starts to crawl that way for some reason, or he likes to get stuck in the corner of the living room by his toy basket.
• He loves to do the "down dog." Several times a day, he'll "stand up" with his legs on the ground still, usually looking under his legs to see what's behind him.
• He likes to tip over his toy basket. The basket sits about a foot off the ground, and he reaches up for it and pulls the whole thing over. Just last week, he puts his hands on the top of it, and instead of knocking it over, he stood up to it!
• His favorite thing to say is "na, na, na," although he also enjoys screaming at the top of his lungs, not because he's mad, but because he likes to hear his voice!
• One of his favorite games is to play "chase" with Shane and Landon. Landon runs around the house, and Shane holds Davis facing out, and they run after Landon. Both Davis and Landon laugh through the whole game.
• He also loves to laugh at anything his brother does!
• He is getting more and more diverse in his food eating, although he still seems to eat the bland rice cereal the best.
• He loves to smile at anyone and anything! Of course, the day I went to my friend's house to have her take his pictures, he was grouchy!

Lucky for me, we had a barbecue with her on Friday, and Davis was more his usual self, so she took a few more.
