Colin is now 6 months old. There is just no way! Time has been flying and he is such a big boy now. I feel 6 months is such a milestone from baby that lays around on the floor to baby that wants to get into everything he possibly can even though he can't crawl yet!
At his appointment today we were sure our little, big man would be off the charts. Though he is a heavy little guy it seems, for this check-up at least, he has slowed down a bit. He weighed 19 lbs 11 oz (85%) and 27 1/4" (75%). We are now officially moving into 12 month clothing. And the food we started a month ago has been a huge hit. He eats around 8 oz a day of a combination of avocado, zucchini, peas, acorn squash and sweet potatoes. He is ready for more, so up next on the list is carrots and green beans.
This past month has been a big month for Colin. Though he had made some small physical advances in his 4th month, month five was a big one. He is now a rolling, scooting, spinning, sitting and working on getting my knees under me little guy. I LOVE this sitting up phase. They finally feel like part of the action and are much more content for a longer period of time just playing on their own. And they don't go anywhere! Though I have a feeling that won't be for long...we shall see.
He is a huge "talker". It is just so adorable how he goes on and on. He also loves to yell and grunt...the boy is coming out! And he loves to laugh, too!
Also, this month he was ready to be unswaddled and he got his first stuffy nose. This combination causing some pretty rough nights. But we seem back on track and he is happy in his sleep sack sleeping on his tummy.
Here are some recent pictures.
