(we have yet to capture it perfectly on film).<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s discovered he can make the funny raspberry thing with his lips, though it&#8217;s a bit more like spitting than the cute little sound mama does to make him laugh&#8211; and it&#8217;s not so fun to be the showered recipient of his little game at point-blank range.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s almost got the crawling thing down- hand-knee-hand&#8230;splat.

Just warms Mummy&#8217;s heart!<\/p>\n<p>He can pull himself to standing on certain low\/stable enough objects, and can hold himself standing on the ottoman- especially.  The piano bench, we learned is not a good support.  When he gets excited, he usually ends up bonking his head, and the ottoman is a much softer landing.<\/p>\n<p>His favorite new toy is a spoon and a cereal canister- one side metal (clang clang), one side plastic (dunk dunk)- we prefer the later.  Quite the little drummer he&#8217;s becoming!<\/p>\n<p>He is the most active, enthusiastic little bundle of joy we&#8217;ve ever seen in such a six month package- we just love him so very much.  He has such a personality and tonight we definitely heard &#8220;mama&#8221; when he was fussy waiting for dinner! \ud83d\ude42  Mama dropped everything for hugs, snuggles, teary-eyed kisses and yes eventually&#8230; finally&#8230; food =)  Simply precious, this one is!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexander turned six months old last week and has been delighting us with new little tricks and treats almost every other day: He&#8217;s sitting up to play quite regularly the past couple of weeks and can almost pull himself to sitting by striking this little GQ relaxy pose- reclining on <a href=\"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/2007\/09\/little-6-month-delight\/\" class=\"btn btn-link continue-link\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9,19],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":368,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85\/revisions\/368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/winklerworldonline.com\/sda2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
