Lyrics
Personalize this songHalf a year and look at youSitting up like big kids doWobble wobble but you stayPlop and giggle either waySix months old and sitting tallWobble wobble and don't fallOpen wide for the little spoonYum yum yum to a happy tuneMashed banana on your noseOatmeal dripping on your toesMessy fingers messy faceSpoons go flying into spaceSix months old and sitting tallWobble wobble and don't fallOpen wide for the little spoonYum yum yum to a happy tuneHalf a year half a yearEverybody give a cheerSix whole months of you and meLook how big you grow to beSix months old and sitting tallWobble wobble and don't fallOpen wide for the little spoonYum yum yum to a happy tune
About this milestone
Half a year is often when babies start sitting with support and trying first foods. Every baby moves at their own pace, and your doctor is the right person for questions about solids.
Sing it together
Sing "open wide for the little spoon" at mealtime and say "yum yum yum" together.
