Woods 6 Months

Baby Woodsie,

You are 6 months old!  It has been half a year since we held you for the first time.  Having 3 littles under 4 is tough stuff, but you are really an easy going, laid back baby.  Minus the fact that you HATE your car seat and you still wake up 1-2 times a night.  Luckily, you go right back to sleep if we give you a bottle so it's super fast, and I'm not feeling cry it out yet.

Anyway...

You LOVE food.  If Gerber makes it, you'll eat it.  You have also tasted mashed potatoes, avocado, bananas, ice cream, pancakes, yogurt, and real green beans.  Loved it all!  Your fave is the "pear, zucchini, corn" mix.

You scoot around on your back and do this crazy little back bend thing.  You hold my hand so sweetly when you drink your bottles.  I kinda love it.

You're able to sit on your own for a seconds before you topple over.  You sleep in your sleep sack at night and for naps, and you have the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen.  Your light blonde hair is getting longer, especially on top, and you have a little balding spot on the back of your head from lying down.

Gigi taught you to stick out your tongue, and it's adorable.  You love your Johnny Jump Up and your exersaucer.  Your laugh is the cutest sound, and we hear it anytime your big brothers are around.  The sillier they are, the better!

We had your well check today, and here's your percentiles:

Weight:  17 lb 12 oz, 48%

Length: 27 1/4 in, 66%

Head Circ: 44 cm, 68%

Thank you, Lord, for a healthy 6 month old baby!  We are so thankful for your precious little self and are trying to savor every second we have with you.  Happy 1/2 Birthday!
