6 Months

Little Bro is one half year old!!  He has made sure that this has been an eventful half year, especially the last couple of months.  He has really become the mover and shaker, but more on that later.  First, here are his stats:

* Length - 27 inches (75 percentile)
* Weight - 17 lbs 8 oz (60 percentile)
* Onesie Size - 6/9 month
* Diaper Size - 3

An interesting little factoid:  Little Bro is the EXACT same length that Big Bro was at 6 months old and Little Bro is only 2 oz larger.

So milestone wise Little Bro has been BUSY!  Just after he turned 5 months old he got his first taste of rice cereal (see that funny face here).  A week or so after that he got to try sweet potatoes.  He never quite came around to plain rice cereal so we started mixing fruits and vegetables into it.  He is a little better with it, but over all he would really like to skip the baby food and rice cereal altogether.  He wants some REAL food and he wants it NOW.  However, he has kind of accepted that he must go this route and will eat sweet potatoes, prunes, and apples somewhat willingly.  Peas, green beans, and peaches are gag inducing though.

He also started sitting unsupported; and not just that but he can go from sitting to...CRAWLING!  He can also go from crawling to sitting.  Now that Little Bro is mobile, he and Big Bro and having some fun together.  Big Bro will crawl around and Little Bro will chase him while we all laugh.  Of course, its not all fun for Big Bro.  Little Bro likes to play with all the toys now...especially the toys that Big Bro is in the middle of playing with.

Little Bro's personality is really starting to blossom.  He will stare you down until you lock eyes with him, then BAM he hits you with a huge side mouthed grin.  It is the funniest, sweetest smile.

He also has this game he likes to play, we call it 'Attack Momma with Kissies'

Well I guess that is good for this update.  I hope you enjoyed this little man as much as we do!
