Baby H.--6 Months

 Umm...how has it already been half a year?!?!  For real, babies grow crazy fast.

I really wish I would have laid him next to the toy from the beginning so you could really see how much he's grown.

Seriously.  The first picture is from his first few weeks of life, the second is the day he turned 6 months.

Baby got sick for the first time this week.  So sad.  He did have two nights in a row that he slept 10+ hours though so I guess that's a positive.  Even though he's feeling yucky, he's still a pretty happy baby.

Look at those sad, sick eyes.  Still so happy though.

He's learned that he can roll to get places and has only hit his head on furniture once and only slightly gotten stuck under the couch.

All of this rolling is also leading to rolling in his sleep which leads to furious cries from his crib to help him get to his back again.  That's fun.  Wait...no, it's not.

He still loves his feet.  Diaper changes usually turn into 10 minutes of feet time.  He even tries to eat them in the tub (which means dipping his face in the water).  That usually doesn't last long though.

He's also finally figured out teethers and they are rocking his little baby world.

 He's sitting really well.  He can usually rebalance if he starts to fall over now.

He looks so proud.

 He's eating formula like a champ which makes me much less worried about the starving.

Look at those chunky little legs...NOT starving

At his appointment he was 26 3/4 inches (62%), weighed  17 pounds 13 ounces (58%) and his head was  17.8 (80%) inches.

We started him on vegetables this week.  He had butternut squash at my mom's.  He didn't hate it but wasn't so sure about how to swallow.  I gave him sweet potatoes on the 27th and he again wasn't so sure.  These faces he pulled make it look like it was a lot worse than it was.
