half a year old!

i cannot, cannot, cannot believe you are SIX MONTHS OLD! holy cow! where has time gone?!

month 6 has been great fun.

you sit, you eat all kinds of baby food, you L.O.V.E. your drool towel. it has the same calming effect as your sassie. you still love bathtime, you love your own bed, you love singing, snapping and clapping (all done by mama or daddy, of course). your favorite song is "the abc's". you usually kiss me when i ask for one and you shake your head no. although, you don't know what on earth that word means. you smile at anyone who talks to you and giggle at the super special people. you've had a sort of attachment to me this month and sometimes cry when you see me leave the room. you've spent your first two stays in the nursery at church and do great there. people still comment on how deep your eyes are. it seems you look much deeper than surface level. wowzers.

you sleep from 9pm - 9am with a short wake-up for eating between 5 & 6am. when you fall asleep after nursing in the middle of the night, i just pick you up and hold you for a long time. these days, you don't really sleep unless you're in your bed so i don't often get the chance to hold you. i soak up those quiet, still times in the rocker in your room. they are so sweet and i know they'll be gone all too soon. i love you, child.

6 month stats:

height: 27.5 inches - 75%
weight: 15 lbs - 20%
head circum: 44.5 cm - 50%

all that to say: you're a tall, skinny guy with a cute tush!
well, the stats don't say that, but i do!

your birthday suit!

look at that hiney!

this isn't the first time you've cut yourself with your super sharp nails, but it's definitely the most visible. ouch! no matter what i do to those nails, they're sharp little boogers!

cute when you cry...

and when you sit.
