we have a crawler!

... Sloane that is :)  She went from raising up on all fours and rocking back and forth at about five months -- doing that for a couple weeks, then started taking a step here and there and tumbling -- to now full on crawling at six and a half months.  She can also puh up to sit, but is still propping herself up with one arm.  We also started her on solids about a week before she turned six months.  So many new things!

She also just had her six month check-up and is growing at a steady rate -- although very much smaller than Colson was at this age.  She is about 50th percentile for weight and head size and 75th percentile for height/lenght.  Colson was in the 90th percentiles until he was about a year old!  Sloane is our sweet little petite gal ;)

As she gets older and is learning new skills, Colson kind of goes through a whole little mini jealousy phase all over again ... and he is learning and growing himself.  His vocabulary and language amaze me ... he is soaking everything up like a sponge.  He is fascinated by trains and firetrucks and police cars - pretty much anything with a siren.  He's also enjoying his new big boy bicylce with training wheels.
