Rain Rain Go away, come again another day

Well, it's happy 6 months today for Kieran. We were going to go for a hay ride and apple picking at Chudleigh's to get the usual 6-7 bags of apples for basically 1.5 people to eat. Tresa loves to pick apples. But then it's up to me to mow them down. We usually give a bag or two to our neighbours and it somehow comes back in the form of a pie. But last year we ate em ALL! But unfortunately the sky started to pour. So instead we're at home. But it's just as well, Kieran's got a cold that he probably got from papa. I've been sneezing for at least a week now. But I've been washing my hands before I pick him up to avoid passing the cold to him as much as possible. But I guess it was one little airborne particle that got to him. BTW Anne/Antonio, I use the hankerchiefs. And so now he's a little congested and when he sneezes, he's just like one of those runny nosed Filipino kids, that I've seen pictures of (ie. Antonio). He was up quite often last night because he was stuffed up.

Lately he's been able to sit up on his own for more than 2 seconds, before doing a face plant. Now he's up to at least a few minutes, before leaning over to the point of now return. His motor skills are pretty good. He does this funny US Marine crawl on his belly. He's not really moving all that fast, but if something he wants is about a foot or two in front of him he'll roll from side to side inching his way towards it. Sort of like an over weight boa that's eaten a cow. And he can lean forward and sit back up all on his own. Lean over the wrong way though and it's tim-brrrrr.
