6 months

Nathan is now 6 months old, as of the 22nd. I can't believe that it's been 6 months already. Here is what he is doing now.

He is about 20 lbs, and is wearing 9 month clothes and size 3 shoes. He has his '6 month' appt next week so then we'll find out all his stats.
He can roll over but only one way, from his back to his tummy. Then he gets too distracted playing on his tummy to figure out how to roll back over.
He is eating cereal, peaches and pears so far and his favorite is pears.
He is no longer nursing, he is eating much more than I make so we made the switch to formula and he loves to help out by holding his own bottle.
He is a very happy baby, only really cries when he is hungry or tired, or wants more attention.
He loves to grab anything he can and put it straight in his mouth.
He loves playing with and eating his feet.
Nathan loves his dad. He gets soooo excited when he comes home from work. He can be fussy for me and as soon as Wes comes home, he gets so happy and excited and just loves to play with him.He can sit up really well with help, and for just a few minutes on his own. He gets distracted by his feet and when he reaches for them, he topples over.
He LOVES playing with my hair, putting his fingers through it and pulling really hard. Which is why I wear it pulled back most days.
He is sleeping through the night, usually about 12 hours!
Nathan is growing like crazy, it's hard to keep up with what size of clothes he's wearing. He has just about out grown his car seat so he will be getting a new one soon.
He is so much fun and we love having him in our family! It's fun to watch him grow, but it's happening so fast. These 6 months have just flown by, and I'm sure then next 6 will too.

He is looking so much older!!!! So Cute!! I too have to have my hair pulled back most days! Gabe will grab both side and give me kisses!! So cute but then I have the hardest time trying to get my hair out of his hands! I'll get one side and then by the time I get the other he has his first hand back in my hair!!

What a cutie pie. I love the little jeans in the last picture. I can't believe he is sleeping 12 hours in the night. You are back to normal life!!
By the way, it's 5:11am and you may wonder why I am commenting on your blog. Remember trying to sleep at 7 months preg? Ha.

Yes, it goes by all too quickly.
He is adorable and I hope to be able to see him in person in a few months...You too of course. ;)
And count your lucky stars that he sleeps that long. Our 10 month old still wakes up a couple times a night...

Wow, he is so dang cute! I'm so jealous about the sleeping through the night thing, can't wait for Sam to learn that one!

Wow he's SO BIG! I can't believe how fast he's grown. And he already weighs more than Londyn! (She's still under the 20 lbs mark.) Congrats on 12 hours of sleep a night, that's FANTASTIC!

I'm glad you found my blog. Your little boy is so cute! It's nice to catch up, even if it is on the web. I can't believe he sleeps 12 hours. Lucky you! My first was a great sleeper, second a horrible sleeper, so hopefully the third will be good again.
