.:Stats- 19 lbs 6 oz., 27 1/2 in. long, 80% across the board

.: What You’re Wearing- mostly 6-9 months and some 12 months.  You  must have shorty arms b/c all sleeves are too long on you! :)  You enjoy chewing on them though!

.: Firsts- trying to hold bottle, on hands and knees rocking back and forth, eating solid foods (rice cereal, veggies & fruits), first weekend away from mommy and first weekend with only daddy!

.: From Head To Toe- you’re doing so well! You have the sweetest smile that makes my day lighter and brighter no matter what!  You’re very long and more than doubled your birth weight (9lbs 11oz).  It’s amazing to me that Emma was  your size at one year and was walking all over!  You have developed a bit of a rash in your “chins” from all the drool and milk/food.

.: Loves- rolling around on your blanket, rocking on hands and knees, saucer, lion chew toy, pacci, star mobile, chewing on your bibs or wet wash cloth,

.: Dislikes- this one is hard b/c you are sooo content and happy…still dislikes the car seat, but mainly only fusses if hungry on the way to our next stop, some certain foods…

.: Eating- kept trying cereal and you’ll finally eat it.  I started with orange veggies, which you like.  Then tried green but you HATE them.  As soon as I put it to your lips you purse your lips together and sometimes even blow!  You seem to like all fruits, but your favorites are carrots, sweet potatoes, & apple sauce!  Still taking a bottle of 6 oz about every 4 hours.

.: Sleeping- going to bed about 8:30 and only waking once about 2 or 4 to eat and right back to sleep. You aren’t really wanting rocked or held anymore (boohoo!) to go to sleep.  You prefer to be laid down with your blanket and the mobile to put yourself to sleep!

.: Misc Facts-

So joyful.  Each time I hear you awake in the crib I go in and you just light up! 

You have very little interest in sitting.  You’re getting better at doing it, but prefer being on your tummy scooting around.

So, there you have it.  He’s officially 1/2 a year old and this mama can NOT believe it!  3 months maybe, but 6 months no way!  The speed at which times goes is just simply not fair.
