6 1/2 Months ALREADY?!

Sweet boy, you listen to me and you listen good--SLOW DOWN!! Your daddy and I are already lamenting just how fast you are growing, and while we are beyond proud of you, we know that you aren't going to be a baby for long, and it makes us sad. Because--seriously--you have got to be one of the sweetest, most cuddly, most precious babies ever to have rolled around on this earth!!

Speaking of rolling--let's talk about milestones. First of all, you are very close to crawling! You are able to pick your belly up off the ground and rock back and forth on your hands and knees, so we know that means you'll be crawling soon! And I wouldn't say you're not mobile...because you can roll aaallllllll over the place! And you scoot backwards. It's so cute. The next big step you've taken in life is you started eating solid foods! I gave you your first taste of avocados on Sunday, March 9, and here is what you thought about them: http://youtu.be/TjsjTJB6fAQ

So far, you have also tried (in this order) sweet potatoes, acorn squash, bananas, apples, and peas. Next will be butternut squash and then some other green veggie. Just not sure which yet. Then soon you'll get eggs. And daddy is capturing all the exciting food-age with his GoPro! So far, you have loved each food you have tried, which makes me SO happy!

We have also discovered that your big brother is your favorite person! He makes you laugh just by saying hello to you. Here's what you think about him being destructive: http://youtu.be/2MHWlQKKJAk

At your 6-month Well Baby check-up, which was on March 21, you weighed 16 lbs, 13.5 oz, and you were 25.5 in long. So you are growing just fine! I was going to get your 6-month photos take that day, too, but I had fallen and fractured my elbow, and couldn't get you in and out of the car seat by myself, and Kathryn, who was able to help me get you to the doctor, wasn't available to help me get you to the photographer. :-\

Below are some of my favorite photos from the past month or so. I just love looking at you!!

This is from the day we celebrated Grandma Nadene's life. I just want you to know that she loved you SO much and she prayed for you every day. You would have loved her.
