Happy Half-Birthday William!!

Our sweet little boy is officially six months old!  I'm not sure where the last six months have gone, but it has been amazing watching Will grow and develop into his own little person.  He truly is the cutest little boy and has such personality!  He has his own ways of letting us know what he thinks and I swear he can already give the "stink eye".  He learned how to roll over from his back to his tummy about a month ago and that may be his new favorite thing to do.  The down side is that he still spits up incessantly and laying on his tummy is a sure fire way to get his meals to come back up.  I have a feeling that he will start crawling by the time he hits seven months.  We've started solid food as well--it's so fun as a parent to watch him try new foods and the faces that he makes!

Will has taken quite an interest in Cooper recently.  His little face lights up when Cooper comes near him, though Cooper doesn't exactly reciprocate the feelings.  It's so sweet to see those little hands reach out for Cooper; I suspect someday they'll be best friends.  I'm sure Cooper has no idea what's in store for him once Will can actually crawl.

Will's six month check-up was Thursday and he's still a long, skinny boy.  He currently weighs 16 lbs, 12 oz which is the 45 percentile and he's 27 1/4 inches, the 85 percentile for height.  His thighs are the only chubby part about him.  I'm wondering if he got my family's height, but only time will tell.

Here are some recent pictures of our little man:
