6 months old.

Just when it starts to sink in that I really have a 3 year old, I have to cope with the idea of my baby being 6 months old!!! It seems like we just brought him home from the hospital... but at the same time, it is also so hard to remember life without him. I wish I could freeze time and keep my little kiddos at this age! They are growing up way too fast!!

I had a little photo shoot with Gav the other day, so I will be sharing the photos of that over the next few days.

Here's my cutie in a basket... sporting a very rare "serious" face!

He is obsessed with his toes!

There is his signature dimpled smile!

He had his 6 month check-up yesterday and as suspected is a growing boy!!

He weighed in at 19 lbs. 7 oz. (75-90th %ile) and was 29.5" long, which lands him in the 97th percentile! I compared his stats to Kylie's and was amazed to see that she was also 29.5"... at 12 months!! And she was always tall for her age, as well.

Gavin has grown 3.5 inches in 2 months... Kylie had that same growth spurt in 6 months (from 6 months to 12 months). Apparently, all of that eating is for good reason! I'm a little nervous to see how much food this kid can put away during his teen years!

At 6 months, Gavin:

*Loves to eat (obviously)- baby food has been the highlight of his day for the last 3 weeks.

*Has started giving us big hugs/neck squeezes, especially when he is tired or right when he wakes up.

*Smiles all of the time!!

*Has the happiest eyes!

*Talks and coos like crazy.

*Is absolutely wild about his big sister.

*Lights up when daddy walks in the room.

*Is a mama's boy.

*Rolls all over the room... much to the delight of his sister.

*Is a good sleeper, even though he still wakes up once during the night to see his mommy (and eat, too).

*Is a really good napper.

*Is on a very good schedule. He has an amazing internal clock... wakes up within minutes of the same time everyday and is ready for naps/bedtime at the same time everyday.

*Loves being outside.

*Very social... loves being talked to... and is happiest when he is getting attention.

*His toes are his favorite toys.

*Likes his binky but not completely obsessed with it like his sister always was.

*Must have his silky blankie by his face when sleeping (he rubs his face in it).

*Still drools like crazy.

*Likes to chew on his fingers.

*Is loved more than he will ever know by every one of us!
