The Mango Tango

I'm not entirely sure why I entitled this post "The Mango Tango"...yes, James tried Mango today...but Tango? It rhymes. That's all....and it sounded catchy. Today James had his six month appointment. He's gone from being in the 50th percentile in weight to the 30th percentile! But 75th in head circumference and 66th in height--big head, tall and skinny. The doctor wasn't concerned as long as he is growing length-wise. He's just burning more calories now wiggling and rolling around!
James is becoming very observant. When he gets fussy, we just put any object in front of him and he's usually distracted by it! He's totally curious about everything. He's been discovering his voice more, babbling and shouting to see what noises he can make. It's pretty fun to hear!
thinking hard about how to get that watch off...
James has eaten brown rice cereal, peas, and mango in the past week. I might have been a little hasty with the mango I bought today. I think it needed to ripen a day or two more. I think parts of it were a little too tangy and when pureed, it made the whole 'batch' too tart! Oops. Here was his reaction:

I love it! I'm always so glad when there are new photos of James. I get really lonesome for him in between visits.

Ohh funny! Love the faces! You could mix some apple or banana with it and it will cut the tang, but the faces are pretty sweet, you might miss them. :)
