I can't believe my baby boy is halfway through the first year of his life. He is such a joy and it's hard to imagine our life without him. Here are some stats and fun facts about our sweet little "bubba."
*At 6 months, Caleb weighed in at a healthy 19 pounds even (75th percentile), and measured 27 inches long (50-75th percentile).
*We've had some set backs with eating this month. Not sure if he has outgrown the dosage of his reflux meds or he is teething, but he only eats half of what he normally eats.
*He takes 2 naps, a morning and afternoon nap, each lasting about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
*He is asleep for the night after his 8:30/9:00 bottle. Jeremy feeds him right before he goes to bed for the night, usually around 11:30. We experimented with skipping this feeding, but after a few nights of waking up around 3:30, we quickly decided he wasn't quite ready to go for the long haul. One day. . .
*He is starting to sit up longer and with better balance.
*He is almost crawling....no joke! He scoots backwards through a room, and also rolls from one end of the room to the next. He can get on all 4's and rock back and forth. Sometimes the momentum of rocking springs him forward and he squeals with delight.
*He LOVES jarred food! There is nothing he does not like, in fact he is now eating cereal. What the poor boy really wants is table food. He grabs and eyeballs everything we eat.
*He adores his big sister and she adores him. He lights up when she enters the room. If he is really fussy and I am trying to cook dinner or back up the diaper bag, I have Kenzie go over and sing him a song or play peek-a-boo with him. His tears turn to squeals of delight. It is the sweetest thing ever!
I know I'm bias, but seriously, how cute is this face?
Best buddies
Yep, he is standing on all 4's!
Rolling....you never can tell where this wild man may end up!
Speaking of rolling, this is his favorite way to roll....with bottle in mouth!
Tummy Time...he is only on his back these days when he sleeps. If you attempt to put him on his back, he flops over in half a nanosecond.
Curious about everything. So much so that this day lily ended up in his mouth!

Can anyone help this kid set up a facebook account already?

This is what I really think of Mommy's photo shoots!
Wow - I love that he's up on all 4s. Quick question re: his 11pm bottle. Does Jeremy wake him up? How do you know if when it becomes a habit vs a need? the reason I ask...Carson was sleeping through the night but that is no longer the case. He's getting up at least once a night for a bottle. Brandon stays up late but it's usually after he goes to bed. He says he'll wake him up to feed him but I don't know how that works for when we should wean him...so any suggestions? This momma's tired :).
