As he turns 6 months old this week, Gabriel is an absolute joy. He has a huge smile that lights up his whole face, and he's nearly always smiling. I imagine that if he could talk he would be a baby version of my grandfather, saying to everyone he meets (stranger or friend): "Howdy! I'm Gabe Townsend!"
He sits up competely independently now (with excellent posture!) and he scoots around in circles on the floor. He doesn't seem very interested in crawling, but I think that has more to do with his very content temperment than it does with his physical ability. His favorite things are his exersaucer (hideous and beloved, thank you Austin for sharing), eating, watching his sister, and just being with people. Everything he touches goes straight into his mouth. His neck is very ticklish and he has no teeth just yet. He was making great progress toward sleeping through the night before about two weeks ago when he was struck by a cold. We're optimistic he'll be back on track soon. He got a clean bill of health from the pediatrician, and his growth and started to level off. He's now only large instead of enormous. Happy 6 months to you, Gabriel!
