{six} months...

So my baby hit the big 6 month mark this past week... Here goes the broken record, I CAN NOT BELIEVE HE IS SIX MONTHS OLD! It is unbelievable how fast time is flying with him. I'm trying to enjoy this time but I feel like I blink and he is on to the next stage. I am more and more in love with this kid every day. He is seriously the happiest baby and his giggle is so contagious. He has turned that corner in the past month from being content in one place to being crazy man that wants to see and touch everything. You put him on the ground in one spot you turn your back and has rolled to the other side of the room. It will be interesting to see when he crawls. He seems interested, and is super strong on his stomach, but who knows. Seems like they are in that "about the crawl" stage for a long time. He has started sitting in the past week or so which I love. It is so much easier to be able to plop them anywhere and put some toys in front of them to keep them occupied, at least for a couple of minutes. We have not done so great with the solid foods but I've tried to step it up in the past week (since I got yelled at by our pediatrician, oops...). He definitely likes to eat and I am dying to start with finger food with him. I bought some puffs the other day and we will try those soon. Why not right? He has been annoying feeding him a bottle as he gets distracted super easy (way too much going on). He almost needs to go into a separate room, which is pretty difficult to do. We went to his 6 month appointment last week. He is staying on his curve, 19 lbs 4 oz (90th percentile) and 95th percentile height (don't remember how long). As you can see here, he is smaller than his big brother, but definitely holding his own... He is still in his bucket seat but not for much longer I would think. He is slowly growing out of all the baby gear which is bitter sweet. I am thrilled to be able to get rid of all of it finally but also sad that this is the last baby stage we will go thru...
