Levi is half a year old today! He went to the doctor yesterday for his well-child check and he is doing great. He weighs 17 pounds, 4 ounces and is 27 1/4 inches long.....big healthy boy! It seems like the last month he had really developed, grown, and matured a lot. His whining and crying has gone down considerably and is a lot more content to be left on his own. Especially at naptime and some days during bedtime. It used to be a screaming treat for me to leave him alone on the floor, but now as long as he has some toys, and maybe a sister or two, to keep him occupied, he's pretty good! He is working on sitting up by himself, but can only do it for about 10 seconds or so. The main problem with sitting on his own is that he is so active that he throws himself backwards and then topples over. He loves jumping and rolls to get to a toy he wants. He is showing signs of wanting to crawl and will scoot a little while on the floor, but I don't think it is intentional as much as it is the fact that he just won't be still! He is starting to push him bottom up in the air when he's on his tummy, though, so maybe he will get the hang of crawling soon. Levi is a super cute little boy and is well behaved and content for the majority of the time. We are very lucky that he is part of our family!
What's that, you say, it is my half-birthday?
Do I get any cake?

So sweet! Your description of Levi almost exactly matches Molly's 6 mo update: almost crawling, grabbing at stuff, rolling around to get to things, sitting up for a little bit on her own. Good stuff, cousin!
Wow! He's getting so big! Even since we saw him. Yay for being a big healthy baby boy!
