I expect your six-month old will get it very soon anyway! At least both of them will get it out the way at the same time then
I'd keep them both away from friends and family you know to be ill, pregnant, or have a weak immune system including those on steroid treatment and other treatments which cause immune problems. See NHS choices website on chicken pox.

They can be contagious for some days before showing any signs of a rash, so it's sensible to stay away from people who might get seriously ill if they are exposed. It's best if children get it anyway, as it's more serious if you get it as an adult. Hope you get on ok! Stock up on calpol and Piriton I would.
