Our boy is 6 months old!

We are updating our blog like going to the doctor's office: last time was when he's 4 months old! It was an exciting 2 months of Grant's life. He's grown and learned alot.

Grant doesn't like tummy time, I think that's how he learned to roll over, from front to back. Every time we put him down on his tummy, he'd be like a screaming click beatle, flipping to his back almost immediately. He's not quite good with the other direction yet. Occasionally if he's on his back for long enough, he'd wiggle himself to his front. Although while I'm writing this blog, he just did it twice! The first time he did that was at grandma & grandpa's, when we went up for grandma's birthday, which was a pleasant surprise for her.

Lately he hasn't been as talkative as before, but a couple days before we went up, we heard him say "Anna" clear as day. Then when we met up with the Lovelands, we realized, Anna means Annabelle. They even sat and played in this swing together.
Grant's sitting up better and better. He's also in a phase when he'd put everything he can grab into his mouth. Sometimes when he needs both of his hands to do the job, he'd sit up straight for a brief moment.
He's also fond of people, the more the better. Every time we bring him outside, whether it's church, shopping, or for a walk, he's just amazed at the outside world and the people in it. He especially likes church, family and church activities, that's where a lot of people would smile at him, hold him or play with him. He'd give them big smiles, or blow lots of rasberries to them.
Last weekend grandma came down to see us. It was great to have her with us for a couple days and help us looking after Grant. Grant loved spending time with his grandma, who loves him a ton.

On Friday, I made him some rice cereal in a bowl. This is his first offical solid food. He was not very fond of this new concept of eating from a bowl and spoon. After every bite, he'd blow rasberries to get the food out of his mouth. So here's what he looked like by the end, almost look like he's got perfect teeth!
