Here are some fun facts about Malcolm at six months of age:
He loves to snuggle and be held.
His favorite game to play is “make mama and papa think I’m suffocating.” He carefully places his giraffe blanket across his face and starts flailing arms and legs erratically as if gasping for air. At the last minute he removes the blanket, smiles, takes a breath and places it neatly across his entire face repeating the process. He has done this for months now. It took me a few weeks to figure out he was doing this intentionally and actually enjoys the feeling of having the blanket on his face. At that point I finally stopped removing it for him when I realized that he can be trusted to remove it himself.
His second favorite thing to do is staring at Wyatt. He laughs hysterically at his brother when he dances/runs around with papa.
He sucks on the corners of his giraffe blanket. He loves this so much that sometimes he even tries to slide a corner of the blanket in his mouth while nursing. He gets VERY frustrated when this causes the suction seal to break preventing milk from coming out.
His least favorite activity is bath time. He screams at the top of his lungs from the second his toe touches the water until you take him out.
He doesn’t cry often but when he does he has the loudest cry of any baby I’ve ever heard. Strangers have even commented on it.
He is very determined to be mobile and scoots around by scrunching his legs up, doing a side face plant, straightening his legs and sliding.
He loves Laverne and despite having been scratched in the face by her once, continues to reach for her tail every time she passes by.
