1/2 a Year!!!

Happy 6 months to my baby Benjamin!!  It's hard to believe you're half a year already!  Where does the time go?!?!  What a wonderful 6 months it's been - that's for sure!  I love how much you're changing, and watching you take on new adventures :) 

What Ben is up to at 6 months:

- He has his first tooth!!! 

- He loves sitting up!

- Growing out of his 6 month clothes - and he fits into all his 9 month clothes.

- Still wearing size 3 diapers.

- Still doing very well with the nursing.  He eats every 3-4 hours. 

- Goes to sleep around 9:00 - and is up by 6:00.  Lately he has been falling back asleep once I feed him @ 6.

- Isn't really on a consistent nap schedule.  It usually depends on what we're doing for the day.  He is usually good with taking a nap after lunch time...and the rest depends on the activities.

- We've started solids,  but it's been going slow!  He's had tastes of avocado, sweet potato, and oatmeal.  I think he's finally getting used to having food in his mouth and figuring out that he's supposed to swallow it.

- His 6 month stats:
Head - 18.25" - 99th percentile
Height - 26.75" - 57th percentile
Weight - 16lbs. 15.6ozs. - 40th percentile.

His head and weight stayed in pretty much the same percentile.  But his weight dropped a bit.  It's hard to believe because he definitely is not a skinny baby by any means!

And finally I'll leave you with his 6 month pictures -

Big brother wanted to help out with the pictures as well!!!!  Love both of these boys!!!!
