6 months old...REALLY?

I know...I know. I'm a terrible blogger. But don't judge until you work full time, 40+ hours and then mommy full time:)...I love it...but it's a lot of work! I don't have a terrible amount of time to blog, but I need to keep this up so I can remember it all!!

Brody is now a whopping six months old. And he's absolutely perfect if I do say so myself. I'm not biased at all! At six months, Brody:

• is 20 lbs, 5 oz (85th percentile)



• is 28 inches long (80th percentile)



• I don't have the actual measurements, but he is 70th percentile for head size



• is sitting up unassisted for long periods of time (he loves this...thinks he is king of the world)



• is trying desperately to crawl, but not quite making it. He rocks back and forth and will crawl with his legs and then throw his upper body forward.



• is sleeping through the night (USUALLY), but will wake once it seems once he reaches a new milestone and is too excited to sleep. He also usually takes two 2-hour naps and possibly another short cat nap during the day.



• is eating 4 bottles a day (about 28 -30 oz)



• is eating solids twice a day and cereal once. He loves, loves, loves carrots. Apples make him shiver his body and scrunch his face like he's eating a lemon!



• loves Max. He could watch him and laugh all day long.



• loves the itsy bitsy spider and watching Blues Clues, Dora, and the Backyardigans. He likes Yo Gabba Gabba, but it's just a bit too annoying for me to give in to that one!



• wants to go outside all day long! Any fussy time can be cured by taking him on a walk or just playing outside.



• smiles and laughs a lot. He is such a happy baby!!!

Brody is really just such a joy. He can be a handful...and his recent congestion and possible teething are noooo fun at all, but for the most part, he is pretty content and fun! I just so adore being a mommy!
