India and back!!

Wow.....we actually have taken some time from writing here. Lil' Akhil has been doing great and we just got back from a nice long vacation. Paris, Bangalore....done, done. Akhil is now 6.5 months old and on the verge of crawling. He is rolling around and pushing himself up with his arms. After his six month visit with Dr. Vershagen......we realized our little dude was pretty underweight. 27 inches is a pretty good height, but Akhil is still hovering below 15 pounds. He is ready for Stage 2 foods.....whatever that means.

We'll be starting him out in day care this coming week. We're sure he will do just fine....but, it will be interesting to see how he reacts. Hopefuly, it's a seamless move and we'll be able to adjust, as well. :)

He is eating solids like a madman and absolutely loves gargling his milk and water. That's his naughty streak. But, it is truly unbelievable how 'low-maintenance' he is right now. *knock on wood*. This is such a cool age. He goes to everybody. He smiles all the time.

One thing that we have found out is his active-ness. Akhil kicks and kicks and kicks like crazy. He's a wildman when we put him down on the carpet. He's also starting to put himself to sleep....which is pretty cool. Well....let's see how the next few days go.....
