Trevor is 6 months old!

Trevor turned 6 months old on February 23rd.  I can't believe he is already halfway to his first birthday.  
At 6 months old, Trevor:
- Is getting so big!  He was 20 lbs at 5 months old. His 6 month well baby visit is next week, so we'll see how much bigger he is by now.  It is getting very hard to carry him in his infant cars eat, but since it is still very much winter here, I don't want to change him to the next bigger type of car seat, because then I'd have to bundle him up every time we go somewhere instead of snuggling him in his bundle in the infant car seat. I'd also have to wake him up to get him in and out of the car when he falls asleep while we're driving. I'm hoping he lasts a little longer in the infant seat, but we'll see.  It's already giving me bruising on my arms from carrying the little lug in his seat.
- Wears 9 month size clothing (and 12 mo size footie jammies).
- Sits on his own well (thought he still tips over now and then, so we've got to be close by while he's sitting).
- Scoots on his tummy.  He can easily rotate around in circles on his tummy and now he is starting to get up on his hands and knees and almost crawling.  He pulls his knees up, scoots his knees forward a bit, then lunges forward with his hands until he is on his tummy again, but further forward.

- Rolls around everywhere.  Between rolling and scooting on his tummy, he can get across the room or get into big siblings' toys quicker than you might expect.
- Grabs his toes and chews on his hands.
- Is getting very close to popping out 2 teeth on the bottom, but they're not through yet.
- Eats baby oatmeal cereal as well as a few types of fruits and vegetables (prunes, peaches, mangos, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, pears).  His favorites so far are mangos and peas.
- Is doing better now that he is on omeprazole for reflux.  He was screaming in pain, arching his back, and having a lot of difficulty with breastfeeding for a while and that has improved.  He hates taking the medication, but it is helping, so we're going to stick with it for a while.
- Is a snuggler!  He loves to sleep lying on Mommy's chest and I do admit to spoiling him a bit by snuggling for naps sometimes when I should probably keep putting him in his crib for all his naps.
- Loves his burp clothes.  We use plain white cloth diapers for burp clothes and he loves to snuggle them up to his cheek when he falls asleep.  He favors them even over soft cuddly blankets.
- Adores his big brother and sister. Austin makes him laugh just by being goofy or playing peek-a-boo.

Here's a video of Austin making Trevor giggle this morning:


Other cuteness...
What better to teethe on than Grandpa's (empty!) beer bottle?
