Oscar has just turned 6 months old! The time has gone pretty quick, but it’s hard to remember life without him. Except being able to go see a movie before spoilers ruin it.

He’s still not written his first app, but he’s learned a lot since getting yanked into the world. Here’s a quick run through…

• Frown
• Smile
• Make people smile
• Blink (but still not often!)
• Suck his thumb
• Suck Daddy’s finger
• That Daddy’s finger doesn’t taste nice
• Headbutting stuff
• Drumming and hitting the table
• Reach for and grab stuff
• pinch
• Hold and look at things
• Laugh, chuckle & giggle
• Hold his head up
• Roll on to his back (although he’s since forgotten that skill)
• Roll on to his front
• Shuffle around the floor (he made it from the living room into the kitchen on Sunday!)
• Stay sat unsupported (for almost a whole minute)
• Balance on Daddy’s hands
• Peek a boo
• Bounce
• Put stuff in his mouth (although still tends to put his hand in his mouth, rather than the thing in his hand)
• Eat hair
• Eat (most of) his food
• Splash water in the bath
• Cry when things are taken away
• He’s found his feet, but still cautious of them
• He can tell left from right
• Press buttons
• Look at sounds/talking
• Follow people as they walk past
• Watch TV
• Dance (allegedly)
• Get really big
• Make sounds
  • ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
  • growling
  • nnnnn daah daah mmmm
  • Blow raspberries with his lips
  • Clicking & tocking with his tongue/lips

And some stuff he hasn’t learned…

• To feed from a bottle
• Cause & effect
• Still struggling with the concept of swallowing
• Who that other baby is in the mirror

And finally, his eyes are still blue, but his first two teeth have appeared!

You can see all these pictures, and a few more from these first 6 months on our smugmug.
