Happy 1/2 birthday Coleman - You're SIX months old!

Wow, I had a baby SIX MONTHS AGO! I can't believe that our little family ever existed without Coleman, yet just six months ago it did. Why did we wait so long to have kids, remind me? Well we're glad we had a chance to be a family of two with all of its spontaneity, but now we can't imagine ever going back to life before kids. We love Coleman to pieces and have cherished the last six months of learning, loving, laughing, and swooning all over him because
he's just so much fun!















Six Months Stats:

-Cole weighs a whopping 16.34 lbs,
putting him in the 25% percentile for weight, still.

-He is 28 inches long,
placing him in the 91% percentile for height....he's getting taller!

-And, his head is in the 30% percentile
so,...............
To sum it all up he is still tall and skinny, getting taller,
and he has a small head. :)

New things he's learned:
*Coleman is Crawling all around our living room and keeps us on our toes!
*He seems happier that he can now crawl around to explore new things and isn't so tied down
*He is eating more and more solid foods and loves eating off our plate. He loves bread and HATES peaches.
*He also loves drinking water and does better with a water bottle or normal cup than a sippy cup
*He still sleeps about 12 hours at night with one break to snack around 5 or 6 am
*He only sits still when sleeping or watching Baby Einstein, and is moving like crazy all other hours of the day
*He is screaming less and grunting, "mmm"-ing, and making lots of other sounds more
*He stares down strangers more before he'll give them a smile, as opposed to just flirting with everyone who looks at him like before
*He sits up much better by himself
*He still LOVES bath time and will probably be a swimmer like his dad
*He laughs when he likes something and grunts when he wants something, so it makes it much easier to know what he wants (as you can see from the crawling video I posted)

He's just so fun!
