I'm not sure how Mark got to be 6 months old, but somehow the time flew by and here he is growing up faster than we imagined. We love every second of being with him, although if you asked me that in the middle of the night, you might get a different answer. The past month we have had LONG nights being up with Mark. He wants nothing to do with sleeping at night. I'm totally convinced that this kid would be in total bliss if he could be carried around in the Ergo carrier all day and night. He loves to be in that thing, cuddled next to us, whether he is awake or asleep. Forget about mom and dad sleeping (or sitting) because he is pretty insistent that we must be walking around while carrying him. Aside from not sleeping, he is the best little boy in the whole world!
Two teeth suddenly popped out just after he turned 5 months old. Look carefully and you can see the teeth. There's definitely more on the way because the drooling continues to be a waterfall with a river flowing down the shirt.
He can lift himself all the way up now and he rolls and scoots all over the place. He still hasn't figured out the knee action of lifting. We're fine with that. We are not ready for another mobile kid quite yet.
He just figured out how to sit on his own and he does a fairly good job. Every now and then you'll turn your head for 2 seconds and you'll find he has tumbled over. But no big deal, he will then roll around and smile at you.
Imagine some loud squealing. That is what is happening here. He loves to talk/squeal, especially to Isabelle.
Happy 6 months to our special boy! Now, if you could just conquer the sleeping through the night dream I have (even 5 straight hours), life would be even more perfect.

Mark looks so much like Belle in some of these pictures. He's such a cutie! He and Gus need to figure out this sleeping thing soon!
