Eating: after refusing solids for the first two weeks of six months, he finally started eating them. Today the green beans just disappeared...the first time that has happened. He's been at about a half container a day. I haven't been introducing foods as quickly, mostly because he was barely eating them. He's now had rice cereal, sweet potato, apples, and green beans. Tomorrow might be squash.
Sleeping: he is still taking about three naps a day: two short ones morning and early evening and a longer one early afternoon. He'll often end up sleeping with me in the afternoon and I think it makes both of us happy. He is often waking up several times at night just needing a pacifier. If it continues, the pacifier will be gone around the same time he's done with day care.
Gross motor: He's very good at sitting up. He loves to jump. He doesn't roll over for me (either way), although sometimes I've found him rolled over in his crib.
Fine motor: It's improving. He can get little things in a fist. He doesn't seem to put as much in his mouth as Isaac did, so Puffs aren't working very well yet. He can take puzzle pieces out of a puzzle.
Temperament: most days Joshua is a mellow kid. He laughs, but not for very long. He (usually) doesn't get very sad. He is often happy to play by himself for a bit, especially if he can see someone else. However, I think teeth are getting him down. The second one is poking through and he had a rather cuddly day today.
