Half-year hanniversary. Huzzah!

Hard to believe that we have had Leo with us for a whole six months now, but it's true. He's always had a presence, but every day he is becoming more a little boy. He laughs when we make funny noises. He reaches for objects hidden to the side and in back of him. He likes being part of the gang. He touches everything, and tries to put it in his mouth (we have figured out that his current religion is Chewish). He kicks up a storm in the bath. He giggles and squeals. He has an independent streak that is quite impressive in such a helpless little creature. In terms of locomotion, he can twist from his front to his back, and in circles clockwise and counterclockwise. Otherwise he just squirms a lot and whines for us to move him (which works, so, you could call it effective). In sum he is a joy. Hooray!
