6 Months

Little Boy, you are 6 months old. And not so little anymore.

Birth: 7 lbs. 9 oz.

Now: 17 lbs. 14 oz. 

*Length*

Birth: 21.5 inches

Now: 28.5 inches

*Likes* 

You are changing by the day and so are the things that you like. You used to love your swing-not to much anymore. But you do love floor time when mama or daddy are down there with you. You love to eat. Forget a bottle, you want the real stuff. You have even tried a few things off mama and daddy's plates. You still like your binky and all 4 of your lovies. Yes we have 4 and yes you need them all to sleep. You like to talk to anyone and everyone who crosses your path. You will even talk to your feet if they listen. You like to have all the attention in the room. 

You have 2 whole teeth since this picture. And you worked for everyone of them. 

*Dislikes*

You do not like teething. Nor do I. It is H E double hockey sticks these days. Especially at night. The nighttimes are the worst. You don't like to be left alone in a room. You cry almost immediately if you see us walk out. If you don't actually see us leave then I will give you 5.3 seconds before you realize you are alone and you freak. You hate shots. You reacted the worst to your 6 month shots. They on top of teething have made you one big ball of snot, fever, and grumpy. You have been such a joy my love :) 

*Facts*

You are in size 2 diapers. We have stayed in this size longer than any other. I like that. You are wearing size 6-9 month clothes and size 2-3 shoes. You hate to be patted when going to sleep. You would rather be rocked these days instead of being layed down in bed awake. You eat a jar of 2nd foods and an 8 oz bottle at each setting.  

  

*Special Talents* 

You are good at jumping in your jumper. Its like an exersaucer but on springs. You love it. You are also extra good at batting your eyes at me and getting me to do anything you want. I am helpless under your spell. Rolling over has become a cinch so you now push up on your arms and kick your legs like a mad man. You are so close to crawling. I am ok with you NOT crawling yet. I have a feeling then when you start to move, you won't stop. 

Camden, 
I can't believe that you have been with us for 6 while months. It has gone by so fast. Each month gets better and better. Your personality is starting to show and I can tell you are going to be a funny one. Just like your daddy. I like that. But you must promise me now that you two won't gang up on me. If you do I am just going to have to have a baby sister to be on my team! You are the sweetest boy around. These days I love to cuddle with you while I am asleep. I even have to talk myself out of going into your room, getting you out of your bed, and cuddling with you for hours. Instead I just go in and watch you sleep. I imagine you and Jesus talking in your dreams. I'm not sure why- I guess you are such at peace. Sweet baby, in 6 more months you will be a year old. Lets slow down just a tad. I can't handle it if it goes by any faster. 


I love you baby boy. 
Mama
