6 Months

Half of a year?! Can it be?! "The Baby", as we endearingly (& possibly forever) call him, is the best. He is the happiest baby ever-says everyone, not just his partial parents. He has had kinda a rough month cutting his first two front teeth on the bottom & yet he's been such a sport! He's sitting up well now & loves that independence. He loves to sit & play with his toys on the floor or watch whatever his siblings are doing around him. They really are his favorite form of entertainment. He has really started loving the Ergo baby carrier that I upgraded to & that's how we run all our errands currently. His daddy has discovered that he's as ticklish as his siblings & loves to get him laughing! He started pureed baby food a week ago & LOVED it! Just sweet potatoes & bananas so far, but he's the quickest of our kids to figure out how awesome food is. Don't be deceived though, nursing hasn't slowed down one bit. "Milk AND food please" says baby. "As long as you don't bite me" says mom. He has been getting in the pool (decked in rash guard & hat) every time the rest of us swim & he's really enjoying it. He can't hang near as long as his siblings, but I bet he can next summer! His hair is growing a tad bit and looks to be the blondest of the 3. He's in his crib full time now & loves it. At his 6 month appointment he measured 27 3/4 inches long & 19 pounds 1 ounce. He's sweet like Spencer but I'm pretty sure isn't going to be as wild as Spencer. Spencer used to love being thrown high in the air as a baby & sweet Slade gets a scared look on his face. Not sure what I would have done with 2 sons having Danger as their middle names! I love watching on the monitor sometimes in the morning when he wakes up & his siblings here him because they climb in the crib & all 3 cuddle & play first thing in the morning. So very sweet. We are all 4 so thankful for the half year we've had with our Baby & can't wait to see what the next half year holds!
