6 Months Old

Sam, you are 6 months old today!

I can't believe how fast the time is going by and how quickly you are growing up.
You weigh 19 lbs (95%).
You are 26 1/2 in long (90%).
Your head circumference is 44 cm.

You wear a size 3 diaper.

You are in some 6-9 month and 9 month clothes.

You typically nurse 5 times a day.

You eat oatmeal in the morning and rice cereal in the evening. We are going to start baby food this week.

You take 2-3 naps a day. It is either 2 longer ones or 1 longer and 2 shorter ones.

You have been sleeping through the night fairly consistently, until your teeth started to come in. Your first tooth poked through your gums last Monday. The second should poke through any day, I can see it and feel a hump now.

Even when you are cutting teeth and have a cold, you have a smile on your face! I love that you are so happy.

You are very active. You are getting good at grabbing and holding onto items.

You are still working on sitting up. You do good for a little bit, then you slowly start to topple over. If you can have your hand on something higher than the floor (like my leg or a toy) you can keep your balance well.

You really want to be able to crawl. You get frustrated when you push a toy away and then can't quite reach it again.

I love your big cheeks, round face, and double chin! Although that is not where it ends...you have chunky legs and arms too!

You really love Kirksey! She can always make you laugh. 

You adore her and she adores you. It is so sweet to see! 

One day I will have to remember these sweet moments.

You also always crane your neck around to find her anytime you hear her.

I can only imagine the trouble the two of you will get yourselves into.

You also love to read books with Kirksey. Especially when your daddy reads them to you.

You are such a sweet baby boy. Sometimes I wish time could stop so I could saver these moments forever.
