Half-way Through the First Year

James hit the 6 month mark today!! Very exciting times in the life of an infant. As I reminded Micah that James is turning six months he asked, "So when is he going to start doing stuff?" We had to look back through Haylie's 6 month photos and accomplishments to check out what she was up to. We found out it wasn't a whole lot, although she did have much more energy and zeal than our little Mr. Mellow. He is just as content as could be to be kick back and do nothing, as long as he is fed and dry.

James learned how to sit up this month, which was exciting enough for me! He topples over after a little while but he can sit for a decent amount of time. Also he stopped screaming in the car on a regular basis. James has been a pretty calm baby until you get him in the car. Up until this month he pretty much hated the car and screamed nearly the entire time we forced him to be in it (note: not the carseat, just the car!)

People often comment about how much he looks like Micah so I decided to do a baby picture comparison. Unfortunately I could only find a one year photo of Micah so this will have to do. I took the liberty to make James' photo look old fashioned to match Micah's:

And here are James and Haylie at 6 months (same toy)
