River is 6 months old! Woah! Check out his latest photo set at Flickr.

This week we had a visit from Jenn. River had his first swim lesson (he sucked his toes when he was supposed to be floating on his back). He discovered the cats. He tried oatmeal (and didn't like it). He gave me a real kiss on the cheek (open-mouthed gnawing, but it was clear he was trying to do it the way we kiss him). And, best of all, he's saying "Mama!" very clearly. I think he sort of knows it means me, no matter what Tim says (he's just jealous). At the very least, River knows that saying "Mama! Mama! Momma!" will bring me faster than anything else :-)





Happy 6-month Birthday, River!
