Happy 6 month birthday!

Saturday was all about Little Michael and his big 6 month birthday. We celebrated by going to Tomato Street for lunch. Its a family friendly place where the staff wear funny hats and everyone pays MJ lots of attention. They line the tables with paper so the kids can color on them. He obviously cant color yet, Mike tried and he just put the crayon in his mouth, but he does love the sound the paper makes when he crinkles it. The most exciting part of the lunch was he got to sit in a high chair for the very first time. Before that we took his Bumbo everywhere we went. We fed him baby food while we ate so he felt included the whole time. Plus just about everyone who walked by had to say hi which made him especially happy. Then it was shopping time. We have learned that he is a picky about what toys he likes so we decided to let him pick out his presents. We started at Baby's R Us where nothing seemed to excite him, he did however pick up a new teething ring. From there we went to The Baby Depot where he took his time playing with multiple toys and ended up falling in love with a xylophone. When we got home it was dinner time and we brought up his highchair for more feeding fun. He once again loved having his own throne. Since he was 6 months we tried pureed turkey for the first time and its his absolute favorite, he practically ate a whole jar. All and all it must have been a great 6 month birthday because he crashed and only got up once that night.
