He is growing out of his bumbo, he pushes off it with his feet and it comes off the ground. So I really have to keep an eye on him when he sits in it.
My little buddy, I can't believe he is already 6 months old. He is now a professional roller and rolls both ways, everywhere and anywhere. He hasn't quite mastered sitting yet.
He is eating solids now. He's will eat anything I give him. He never did the tongue thrust, he just ate like a champ from the get go. We have now started mixing foods and he seems to like that.
I wish I could hold my little baby forever. Toni took this sweet picture.
Zeke prefers to be on his feet, than sit on his bottom. I don't know if I should be proud or worried...Side thought-
I have always had a really hard time living in the present, I almost always find myself thinking about the future or the past. Thinking that when I have more time, (e.g. when I'm just at home with kids as oppose to going to school and being at home) I'll have more time to do things I want to get done (e.g. projects, scrap booking, genealogy, service) I've finally realized that there is never more time and when I get to that place, I'll probably have some other reason to put it off.
I realized too, that in thinking that way I have and will miss out on opportunities and blessings that the present has to offer. Zeke has been the biggest blessing in helping me come to this realization. He helps me to live in the present and enjoy every waking day I get to spend with him and my little family.
So I'm now trying to seize the moment and let the future figure itself out. Now that I have joined the rest of you in this present time, I find myself appreciating the little things more and wanting to continuously freeze time. Life is filled with so many precious moments. I love listening to the babblings of a 6 month old, watch him sleep and playing peek-a-boo 5o times over. I love the long conversations I have with Aaron and the cuddling on the couch. I love spending time and talking to my friends and family, I love the sun shining on my face, I love that I get beat at tennis by a 67 year old and it kills me :)
I am so grateful that Heavenly Father fills our lives with so much joy and peace and know that these times and feelings help us have those "June roses in the December of our lives". - Love that quote. ( or for my fellow Aussie followers. December roses in the June's of our lives)
