Rafael is 6 months old this month. We’re loving every minute of it ;)
This month Raf has started reaching out for things (like our faces and his Kitty and Doggies ♥), sitting up for longer periods of time, he is hammering the “solid” food (more like mushy foods), lots of tummy time and some rolling but no big moves towards crawling yet (phew!).
He gave us his first real laughs on April 1st, no fooling ;) It was the best thing I’ve ever heard in my life.
He can hold himself in a standing position for short amounts of time, he looks like a little boy when he does!
This past weekend he graduated from Aqua Bubbas, and is moving up to Perri Winkles next term XD He got a little certificate for it too, so silly but it makes my heart swell!
He’s also geting quite good at holding the bottle when I give him one, and today he accidentally did his first drawing! haha I’m going to frame it.

He is ridiculously cute and you have some gorgeous photos of him.
My kids were born in the pre-digital age and also before I knew how to use an SLR and before we had a decent camera and good lenses… Maybe that’s why I like taking pictures of babies so much? Making up for missed opportunities. They’re just so darn photogenic but at $25 per film for developing & printing we didn’t take very many.

Thanks Trish! I know we as kids had *some* photos, but absolutely nothing compared to the amount we have these days. For example, I have about 150 photos of him just for the first few days! I think there are probably 3 or 4 of me at one day old ;)
