6 months old!

Today our little man is six months old. These last six months have gone so fast, I don't even want to think about how fast the next six will go. Wish I had some milestone reports to give. The boy won't roll over and isn't even thinking about sitting up. (Maggie started pulling up shortly after turning six months old, so I'm actually enjoying the fact that Oliver is acting like a baby!) He liked holding his toes for awhile, but now he doesn't really play with them much anymore. He has still never given us a real belly laugh, although he's always happy. He'll laugh a little when we tickle him (his back is very ticklish) or when we surprise him. His favorite things are his exersaucer, his play mat, his sisters, his thumb, and slinkies. Yes, slinkies. He is fascinated with plastic slinkies. I think he may be learning "cause and effect". Today while he was sitting in his high chair at lunch, he threw his slinky on the floor several times. Now, he has dropped it by accident hundreds of times, but I think he just realized that if he makes it fall, Mama will bend down and put it back on the tray. Great. That's always a fun phase. Other than that, he is content to sit and watch the world go by, suck his thumb, and smile at his big sisters. Can't complain about that. :)
