Siddhartha: The sixth month
Six months ago, we were playing the waiting game. Katie woke up in a hospital bed and was undergoing pregnancy induction, and I woke up in an uncomfortable nook – not realizing that long restful nights of sleep were gone. Today, I woke up on a couch with a six month old sleeping on my belly.
This month was much like last month, he just got better at everything. His rolling is now a nuisance on the changing table. His crawling is still army like and now he gets into stuff or terrorizes the cat. He bounces up on all fours. He can also sit up without support which means we can put him in a high chair or in a shopping cart. And that tooth that’s been threatening to emerge since 2.5 months? It’s broken ground.
We did give him an avocado for Thanksigiving and we tried once more on Saturday, but he (and it may be sheer coincidence) got some redness on his face, excessive spit-up and sneezing, so we’re going to try a new vegetable later this week.
