Karston is six months old today! (And he was 26 weeks old Sunday.) It feels as though six months ought to be a landmark. Actually, my mother says that means his spleen is working now, and that means his immune system is running. It sound like good news to me, so we opened a bottle of champagne and hopped in the hot tub (we missed sunset, which was the original plan). Karston thinks the hot tub is OK, but that could be because he gets so much adult attention and constant holding. We're watching out for his safety, and he loves the limelight. We all went in the hot tub for the first time on the first, and it was a very relaxing start to the new year.
He's got so much personality now! Mostly we see happy, thrilled, hungry, tired, or fussing either for holding or for a diaper change. That sounds easier than it is, because he also needs to fill his brain which means we have to give him that safely supervised opportunity. We put batteries in his Intelli-tainer this weekend because he seemed ready to do more than stand in it. Yesterday he just scratched the buttons because he was there, this morning he was pushing the closest buttons on purpose, and this evening he was reaching everywhere to see what else, like a button, would make something happen. He even found one button that I hadn't! Mostly we're happy and learning, parents and child!
