Six months of growing..

I know I say this every month when I sit down to journal your monthly updates, but really, time just can slow down. now. please. PLEASE.

Yet you continue to be such a growing delight...your personality is evolving, and you are becoming more engrossed in the life around you, emitting such happiness and joy to everyone.

At 6 months old, you are

* 19.2 pounds and 26 3/4 inches long {slight ;) growth spurt, eh?}

* rolling over. And the minute you are on your belly, you roll on your back. "no belly time please," you say.

* an independent sitter.

* playing with your toys and chewing on them with gusto.

* teething..poor guy, tons of drool but nothing to show for it yet.

* eating breakfast and dinner, with 4-5 6 ounce bottles per day.

* sleeping from 7 pm until 6 am, & on most nights you get up for 1 feeding between 2-4 am.

* loving to laugh and play with your sister. If she starts making a funny noise, you try and repeat it. (usually at the dinner table)

* so, so, so, very ticklish. You are probably laughing now just at the thought of it!

* falling asleep in our arms, with your pacifier (and sometimes the froggy lovey) stroking our faces and/or hair. sweet, sweet boy..

* less than 180 days to your first birthday!

Time. Please. Slow. down...
