First time using a baby spoon

Today, we tried rice cereal for the first time. Haha, I'm pretty sure he didn't like it, because most of it cam dribbling down his chin.  Then 5 minutes in he started screaming and throwing himself backwards out of his bumbo.  It didn't help that I had to hold him upright as well.....he is getting better.  He can sit up by himself for like 30 seconds, then he crumples over.  Tummy time is getting a little better too, he is rolling all over the place, back to front, front to back. I leave him facing one direction, come back and he's completely turned around.  I can't wait till he starts crawling and stuff.  We really need to work on his arm strength so he can pull himself up on things.  So that has been my main thing the last week, working on him holding himself up with his arms.

He was super cute today before his nap, I gave him his singing seahorse and he pulled it over to himself and cuddled it to sleep.  Cutest thing I've ever seen.  He is also very interested in his surroundings all of a sudden.  Nick was explaining something to me with a packet of paper, and Tristan kept trying to grab it.  He also likes to roll to the foot of our bed and grab onto the metal bars with his hands and feet, what a monkey!

Nana (Nick's mom) sent a package of Halloween treats today, and in it she sent an outfit for Tristan.  It's a little shirt and pants with a monster on it, very cute, but a tad too long.  He'll grow into it soon enough though the way he has been going!!  He is a big baby.  He will be 6 months next week, how insane is that???  I can't believe how fast my little baby is growing up!
