Big Boy

Neil is six months old today! Friday we took him to a concert the Embassy sponsored in honor of African-American history month. They'd found some very talented performers, including a Peace Corp volunteer who danced step. It was great. I'd been really nervous because Neil has gotten into a very distractable stage. He gets fussy tired around eight and there's nothing to do but take him to bed to nurse. Still we wanted to go and I didn't want to leave Neil so we went hoping for the best. He got restless when the MC introduced each section but the boy watched every number and danced waving the tail of the sling during the rock songs. He LOVED it.

Yesterday we gave him a little banana. Not such a winner...

He'd rather chew the plate.


He weighs 17# by the bathroom scale. Ruth Anne weighs 27#.
