Things I've learned in 6 months...
1. No matter how quickly you wash something - SPIT-UP STAINS; Fleece is an exception.
2. A toothless smile or baby kisses at 1AM does not make you any less tired at 7AM
3. A baby changes your perspective of EVERYTHING.
4. The human body is the greatest invention of all.
5. Babies are not always "awww, so cute"
6. No matter the size of the little hands, a child can have a complete grasp of your heart.
7. As soon as you "figure something out", he has changed and "something" no longer applies.
8. Your plan based on baby should just be to show up at some point, with everyone clothed. Period.
9. Clear spit-up has the same damaging effects as white spit-up
10. If you wear PJs all day, you're not as concerned about spit-up ruining your clothes.
Happy 1/2 Year Birthday. I love you Isaiah.

6 Months Old
I'm 6 months old, or Daddy said I'm "half of a year" old. I don't feel any different but Momma and I did some special things over the last couple days...
Yesterday, Daddy "had his car serviced" so he was home for a little. He was the first person I saw. After we ate some breakfast, Momma and I picked Daddy up and brought him home from the car repair place. Then Momma and I drove all the way to Toledo to get some pictures taken. It was fun and I smiled a lot. When we were finished, Momma and I went to McDonald's for lunch and I had some squash and rice while Momma ate her french fries.
After we picked up the photos, we drove back and picked up Daddy and took him back to the car place. Then we went to meet up with some of Momma's friends. I met Jenni and her daughter Cathy. Momma said Cathy was the flower girl in Momma and Daddy's wedding. She was fun and smiled and played with me a little.
Today, I went to see Dr. Orr in the morning. I weigh 16 lb and am 27 inches long. I haven't grown a whole lot in a month so Dr. Orr told Momma to try feeding me more solid foods. She also told Momma I could have just a little apple juice when I have trouble going stinky. Dr. Orr did tell Momma that I'm looking very healthy. Then the nurse came in and gave me some shots; I didn't like that but then Momma and I headed home for my nap. It was a pretty normal day otherwise, except that Momma and Daddy both kept saying "happy birthday".
At 6 months old, I can roll over from my back to my belly and have been doing that often now. I even roll over in my sleep sometimes. I also can almost sit up all by myself. I really like my yellow and red toys the best. I started using my paci again mainly at nap and bedtime but sometimes just when I want to relax. So far I've tried sweet potatoes, rice cereal, pears, apples, peas, acorn squash, and bananas. I like to eat but sometimes I just get too excited and eat too much. Then I just spit up, usually a lot, all over Momma's shirt and my clothes too.
So long for now, going to bed.

I Like to Eat w/ Guest Post by Eddie
Momma and Daddy took me to the mall this weekend. It was nice to see all the people and I met the lady that cuts Momma's hair. Here is a picture of me trying out the stroller before we left.
I really like to eat all the new foods Momma has been giving me. So far I've tried acorn squash, apples, and today I had my first taste of peas. Here are some pictures of me eating my peas.
Eddie, the cat, has something to say:
Hi. Yeah, so Mom and Dad brought home this little person a while back and it didn't seem to make much difference for Tatum (my bro) and me, but now this little person is invading our space. He keeps grabbing at us when we try to sit with Mom or Dad. The other day, Tatum was caught and couldn't get away and we had to wait for Mom to come rescue him. He's also pretty loud. I'm just getting settled down for a nap when here Mom comes with that little person and then he starts laughing or screaming and disturbes my sleep. So I make my way upstairs to sleep and then...here comes Mom again. I'd be really okay with him if he would just be a little quieter and leave me alone. Tatum made a good point though - we better be nice to him because Tatum is sure that we'd be the first to go if tensions arise among the little person and the two of us. So I'll keep my cool, but I better start researching better hiding places.
