Happy 6 months from Mommy

Yesterday Blake turned 6 months. I can not believe a whole half of a year has past since he was born. He is growing up so fast. I think he gets more amazing every day.

He is 18 pounds and 6 ounces and 27 inches long. Square in the 75th percentile.

He sits up like a pro most the time (although the more excited he gets the more chance he is going to flip himself over). He loves to eat, unlike Maddie he loves almost everything so far on the first try...minus an avocado. He tries to snatch food from other people, and wants to gobble it all up. He has dove for a friends pretzel sticks, my bread, fries...he tries for everything. He definitely loves his food. Not surprising given how much he loved breast milk.

He has started “waving” he will look at you and bend his hand up and down at the wrist. Sometimes if I do it first he will copy me. It is really sweet. He also loves to blow raspberries. Some days he will just sit there and blow raspberry after raspberry.

The other day he met a baby boy about his age (just 9 days apart) and he was so excited. He squealed, grabbed the baby’s feet with his own feet and held his hand. They were so cute to watch.

He is such a happy boy. He has his screaming fits but in general he is full of smiles and laughs. He thinks his sister is the funniest. She can get the best laughs out of him. He is such a joy to play with, to spend time with. He makes things easy. He is my sweet little man.
