Six Months


I cannot believe that my little man is 6 months old today. The time has gone by so fast. It seems like such a short time ago that he was still in my tummy and now he is sitting up and rolling over, he has two teeth and is cutting four more and I am sure before I know it he will be crawling. He is a big boy...weighing almost 20lbs he certainly has the makings of a football player (wont Stephen be proud). He is eating 3 meals a day of solid food and is quickly loesing interest in his bottle. He likes all fruit and most vegatables that arent green. Peas and green beans did not go over so well. He is starting to like cheerios and small things that he can gum down. He hates a paci but loves his blanket. His motor skills are really improving and he is really grabbing onto everything he can get his hands on...his favorite being hair. =) He loves his exersaucer and runs laps around it (it is one of the ones that has wheels and a seat attached and he can move 360 degrees around this little activity table). He is happy ALL the time. He has such a relaxed disposition (that must come from his daddy), he just goes with the flow of things. He likes being outside and swinging. He loves to watch Reagan do anything and she adores him. He loves attention from anyone who will give it to him...he smiles at strangers in the store if they talk to him. He is not a snuggly baby...he puts himself to sleep, doesnt really like to be rocked except on a rare occasion in which I take full advantage of and snuggle him long after he has fallen asleep.
He is such a sweet baby and we are so blessed to have him as part of our family. God has truly blessed our family and not one day goes by that I dont look at both my children and realize how lucky I am. I love being a mom...its what I always wanted to be. It is my dream job and allthough it isnt very glamorous it is so rewarding and I wouldnt change it for anything.

it's so crazy how much he looks like jordan to me. do you see it too? maybe it's just cause my memory is of jordan as a little boy, and you see him all the time as an "adult", so it might be a different perspective. cute post. it's fun to capture moments in time so you don't forget later!

He is such a cute little guy. I think he looks a lot like his Uncle Jordan. It's nice to hear that things are going well for your little family. Take Care!
