Six months stats!

On Monday the 23rd Blake had his six month check up. He came in weighing 16lbs 1oz and he is 27.25 inches long! He jumped to the next percentile. He is in 74th for height and 54 for weight. The doctor was happy. Not that he was worried. But he was pleased he jumped. :) guess that oatmeal and fruits and veggies are doing some good! 

They may be four and a half months apart

But man! Between my own child who hugs my arm while he eats as if he's saying "don't you dare touch that child" to McKay who wants to be held. It's almost like taking care of twins. 

Out like a light.

You know this boy is out when his mouth is hanging open! 

A boys best friend...

Blake finally discovered the tortious the other day. 

While I was feeding him his applesauce for breakfast he notice Miss Zoey moving about in her cage and kept a close eye on her for the rest of the time.

Half a Year...

Already! Where does the time go? I don't think that I will ever know the answer to that question. Will anyone? Blake is 6 months old today! I swear just yesterday we were sitting in the hospital room waiting for him to finally arrive.

At Six Months Blake currently…

Sits up without support.

Eats applesauce, sweet potatoes, and squash.

Started to drink from a sippy cup.

Can roll around (if he wants to. He seems to learn how to do something and does it for a few days then stops doing it for a while as much as he did when he first learned it.) 

Still can't seem to get enough of his mommy.

flips over and fights getting dressed/diaper changed. Yup a lot of the time I have to hold him down with my legs ALREADY! Pathetic.

Knows how to blow and lots of times blowing will consist of spitting with it. 

Still loves to bounce.

LOVES technology. Its quite pathetic really. I used to be able to just flip my phone over and magically he would "ignore it" but now he is starting to reach for it when its flipped over. So now I have to tuck it away. 

Loves to be sung to. 

Is just getting into our turtle.

I know it was a fluke but I like to think that he waved goodbye the other day, not once but, twice. Once to Grandma Moeller before we left to go to Grammie Woods's house. And the other time, just after the first time, to Dad since he missed him doing it to Grandma. 

Started to laugh at ore stuff and we have kind of discovered today that he seems to laugh more when he is ready for a nap. 

Fights sleep. 

Sleeps better if he is in our bed. I don't know if its security or warmth. I think its security personally. When I grab him at night when he wakes up to eat he is always really warm if not sweaty. He has always been a really warm sleeper. He also sleeps better in our arms during the day. So I really think its the security thing. 

Is starting to like Dad more again. (FINALLY)

I know the list could go on. But I will stop it there. He seems so big, yet, for his percentile he is still on the small side. People tease me that he is still small when I say he is getting chunky. Let me be clear. Yes he is still a stick. But I like to compare him to himself. He was even skinnier for the first few months of his life that now he is a little chunk! When compared to others yes he is pretty skin and bones still. But honestly me and Micah like it that way. :) I am anxious to know his stats but we won't know those till next Monday. I'm thinking he is about 15 lbs. And maybe 26.5 inches. But we will see for sure. 

Doesn't He look so cozy in his carseat? Wish I could travel around like that!

 He will play with anything he can get his hands on.

Sitting up. He has been doing so good with keeping balanced lately. 

  

He loves to put things in his mouth. Including Dads finger. ha Micah though it felt so funny.

We get to play with Cousin McKay a couple times a week. 

These two are about 4.5 months apart. 

Blake couldn't get enough of McKay after we took the side by side pictures. He seriously got mad and wouldn't calm down will I sat with him next to Grandma and he could just stare at McKay. He even gave McKay kisses.

 Notice Blake in the background? Ya Zoey even distracts Blake from eating sometimes. 

First time "playing" in the snow. I think he liked the fact he was outside more then the fact it was snowing.

The day after he got his sippy, he already knew how to hold it. I kid you now. How is beyond me. 

He is getting more and more interactive every day. And is too aware of whats going on around him. He cries every time I leave the room. It can be a pain sometimes. Like when I leave to go to the bathroom. once I am out of sight he is good though. He is so alert. He has been from day one. Which I think is partly way he has such a hard time with naps. He is a fun little guy and we love him to death. Life is just going to get crazier once he can crawl. I'm just waiting for the day. He will be one that gets into EVERYTHING! I just know it.
