I so wish I could report that we're moving out of the condo, but into the house. However, my news might be more exciting: Mac is crawling! He started on Saturday night. It's been in short bursts, so it's hard to get video. But I managed today.
He has a very funny crawl. He actually uses one knee and the other foot. It's so cute. (And I'm not biased, or anything, right?)

6 Months Old!
It's hard for me to believe that it's been half a year since we met the Mac Man. The best and hardest half year of my life - and I suspect the MacDaddy would agree with that. The Mac Man gets more fun every day. It's like he's this whole other person, and he's kinda my favorite! (Well, maybe he's tied with the MacDaddy...)
He's sitting up very well. Seriously, he has better posture than I do! He's pretty chatty, especially when he's getting bored or cranky. He's starting to play peek-a-boo. By "peek-a-boo," I mean that I can put a burp cloth over his face, say, "Where's Mac?" and then he'll take it off and smile as I say, "There's Mac!" He thinks clapping is awesome. He doesn't do it himself yet, but that's probably why it's so incredible when the MacDaddy and I do it.
He's trying really hard to get up on all fours. He can get his chest and torso up, but then when he pushes his bum up, he face-plants! It's very frustrating for him, but I know he just needs to work through it. He's also starting to try to scoot on his bum in a sitting position. He doesn't use his hands; they just wave in the air while he "hops." He doesn't get very far at all that way.
And he LOVES the naminals. Every time Mr. McKitty or the Doggie-wog go by, he stops whatever he's doing to watch. He giggles when the Doggie-wog sniffs his hand. And I have to say, the naminals tolerate him remarkably well. Mr. McKitty lets Mac "pet" him, which inevitably turns into grabbing chunks of fur. And the Doggie-wog lets Mac kick him in places he doesn't let most people touch. (The Doggie-wog is very sensitive about his feet and hind legs.)
He loves eating solids. If by solids, you mean purees. He eats the rice cereal, but likes it better when you stir the veggies in. As for veggies, he has tried sweet potatoes, squash, carrots and peas, and he LOVES them all! We should try green beans on Monday, but I may skip ahead to bananas. I love bananas, so I can't wait to share them with him!
You'll have to wait a bit for photos and stats. We have our monthly photo shoot this weekend and go to the doctor next week. Until then, how about some video? This was taken today:

A Chat With the Mac-Man
Recently, someone [whose name will remain Tiffer-schnoodle] asked me if Mac is talking yet. Well, yes. In his own way. Here's a sample of our conversations:

A Day of Firsts
For Mac: He rolled over for the first (and second, and third) time today.
Yes, he is 3 weeks and 5 days old. That's right; he's amazing.
For the MacMommy: I bragged about my baby for the first time today.
Enjoy:
Special thanks to Gigi for catching it on video!
