6 Months

Happy Half Birthday to my baby boys!!!

Logan and Nathan are 6 months old today! How has half a year passed by so quickly? My bitty babies aren't so bitty anymore.

Logan

18 lbs., 8 3/4 oz. - 75th percentile

28 inches long - 90th percentile
44 cm. head circumference - 50th percentile

• He is finally interested in kicking, grabbing, and rolling over more. He's been able to do these things, but not very motivated.
• He likes to make big sweet smiles.
  
• He's been accused of being a flirt.
• He eats green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, applesauce, bananas, peaches, and rice. Carrots and applesauce are his favorites.
• He still sleeps all night and usually wakes after 7:15 for his first meal.
• He's still easy-going.
  
• He hates having his boogers sucked from his nose, which has become a regular chore with him being sick the last few days.
• He resists being held in any kind of "sleep position". Because of this, he fusses himself to sleep in his bed. It usually only takes 2 minutes, then he's out.
  
• He loves watching Baby Einstein.
  
• He wears size 3 diapers and size 6-9 month clothes.
• He's chewing on everything, including his fingers and anything else he can grab.
• He's relented to the fact that he has to ride in a car seat. He still resists some, but usually falls asleep or finds contentment pretty quickly.
• He has his first eye infection and is fighting the effects of bad allergies.
  
• He is happy playing in his jumperoo and on his activity mat.
• Dr. Hassel says he's 'perfect' and 'so cute'. :-)
  
• He's our chubby monkey, a complete joy, and we love him so much!!!
