6 Months!

Our boy is 6 months old!
Miles eats all kinds of baby foods and loves rice rusks. He drinks juice from a sippy cup (with a little help).
I took him to the doctor for shots and check-up, and he weighs 19 lbs and 6 oz. Other than a slight heart murmur, which we'll get check out by his cardiologist soon, he is the picture of health! He wears 6-9 month clothes. We decided he puts the Hunk in Chunk!
He LOVES going out and getting attention from other shoppers. He's kind of a ham like that!
Now that he's taking baths in his bathseat (and not in the kitchen sink!), he loves it! I had a hard time getting him to look at me and smile because he was so fascinated by the water.

Miles doesn't have any teeth yet, but he wants to put absolutely everything in his mouth.
He rolls all over the place, making diaper times and getting dressed a struggle. We don't have a whole lot of floor space though - other than in our bedroom - so he doesn't spend as much time on his tummy as he should.
Miles is (now) a great sleeper! On a good, normal night he sleeps 11 hours! YAY! He still takes 3 naps - one that's about 90 mins and two that are 40 mins. He always rolls onto his side or belly and for some reason always sleeps in the same corner of the crib - no matter where I lay him down.
I can't believe he's already half a year old! We love him to pieces!

Can't believe he sleeps 11 hours. We're happy when we get 7 and that's only once or twice a week. Whats your secret??

Let me know how the murmur thing checks out at the cardiologist. Derek and Kevin both have bicuspid aortic valves, first found with a murmur. Grandpa Martin had the same thing. Paige has a murmur off and on, but no problems with her valves. When are you guys moving here?
