Watch Me Grow: 6 Months

Our little dude is 6 Months old!

Other than those icky but must-have shots, his doc appointment went great.

Carson's 6-month stats:

Weight: 14 lbs. 12 oz. (15th percentile)
Height: 25.5 inches (25th percentile)
Head Circumference: 17 inches (50th percentile)

In the Closet: Primarily 3-6 months and some 6-9 months

Diapers: Size 2

Grub: Breast milk, rice cereal + formula (got the go ahead to start solids today!)

Sleep: Sleeping like an angel at night, 9-10 hours, napping is still another story, but slowly making progress

New Activity/Development: Sitting up on own, squeals/baby screams, giggles, grabbing anything and everything, constantly turning in direction of sound 

Loves: to sit up and see the world. You resist laying down to get your diaper changed and take a bath. I want your strong abs! You still love the jump jump game, airplanes and a new game of "chest bumps" that Daddy discovered.

Carson, we don't remember what life was like without you. In fact, we question what we ever did with all our time. I love seeing you smile and laugh, it just melts my heart. My favorite is when you flirt! Even with mommy. You'll smile really big, then turn your head really fast while squealing to hide your face. It's so precious!

You are fascinated with everything. You want to touch, hold or pick up anything and everything you lay your little eyes on - a sponge just taking it all in. We can't hold you and anything else in our hands at the same time or it will quickly be snatched up. Especially electronics. You love phones, iPads and cameras. We are truly amazed at your strength. The doc says you have amazing torso control and it might not be long before you are crawling. The other day, you took Daddy's full beer bottle out if his hand and held it all on your own!

Recently, you have taken a liking to Jake. You really like to pull his hair. I think it's the texture and feel of his fur. He doesn't seem to mind, but sometimes he doesn't last long before he exits the room:). I know you two will be best friends some day.

We finally pulled out your exersaucer just a few weeks ago. You love it! You are sitting up on your own (for short periods) and can stand with support extremely well.

You are such a joy and bring so much happiness to our life. Love you dude!
