Talmage at 6 Months (Finalization Month!)

 Adoption finalization, first vacation, rolling over, and playing with his siblings...Talmage had a pretty great month!

Finalization was easy. We went to Zane's office and met with a notary. Our lawyer called in with the judge and after a few questions, pronounced Talmage ours!

Talmage spent a lot of time in the sun this month.  Here he is snuggled up for a nap at the pool.


Talmage's personality started coming out. Lots more smiles and giggles.

Of all the sibling relationships, I love watching Lili and Talmage together. They are 15 months apart. Lili has been awesome with Talmage and didn't show signs of jealousy. Every month that passes, she also shows more signs of awareness of him. Lili likes all the baby toys coming back out too.  It is a good thing they are both so light because there are times when they both just need to be held.


 Trying out the baby swing.

Talmage is also becoming more fun for the older boys as he interacts with them. Gavin and Dallin love to make Talmage laugh.


Talmage is rolling around now. He isn't quite ready to wrestle the kids in the background, but I'm sure it will happen way too quickly for me.

Great/gross picture to catch!

We waited until 6 months to try baby food. Talmage has become a happier baby and I didn't want to mess anything up by adding food. Formula also has more calories than baby food, so his GI doctor wanted us to wait. Eating isn't going that well. Talmage doesn't have any desire to eat from a spoon.

At 6 months Talmage weighs around 12 pounds, is starting to go into 3 to 6 months clothes and still on Nutramigen formula concentrated to 24 ounces. He has seen a physical therapist a couple of times but she feels that Talmage is really doing well and just gives me suggestions of exercises to try on our own. He keeps amazing us all! Don't you love those dimples!!!
