Another check-up today. Six months! Art weighs.... (drumroll...) 19 lbs!!! NINE-TEEN! And he is 27 and 3/4 inches long. Apparently that is only 75th percentile, so he's doing just great. Everything else looked good, and tasted good. He ate the stethascope, the kleenex box, the blanket, and tried to eat the ear thing. Happy half-birthday, Art!

Here is Art busy as a bee, spinning the wheel on that busy box. He worked very hard on that project for some time. Right now, as I type, he's in his high chair swatting at his toy piano keys, and babbling now and then. Busy busy busy!

Today Art suddenly started to babble. Mostly "Bau, bau, bau" with an occasional "Mau, mau" and lots of silent versions, where his mouth would move as if he were saying something but nothing came out. Just the sound of his lips opening and closing. You will surely hear it in the next video installment!

This is a seven-minute video of Art visiting his Nanna (my mama), in Arkansas (my home). Getting bathed, bounced, strolled, massaged, and otherwise loved-on non-stop by his grandmother.
