6 months..and two weeks


Im a little behind with the 6 month Graham post. We were in Utah on the acutall day he turned 6 months old, and one day later we were in California. I told Jared we needed to celebrate his 6 month birthday, and he said, "you want to celebrate everything of his". I agreed. He needed some new toys, cake, balloons, clothes, etc...But instead we just kissed and hugged him a lot and told him happy 6 months buddy all day:)
Everything checked out great at his appointment, and they all were impressed with his size and happiness. He is turning into quite the little ham in front of strangers. He will smile and carry on, especially with the ladies. His chubby little cheeks make people think he is bigger than he actually is.
Weight 17 lbs(we thought he would be 19 or 20 I swear). Average percentile
Height 27 inches...upper percentile
Head cir..17 inches..average percentile

Doc said he was a healthy boy. Just what we wanted to hear. His little hemangioma is fine, hasn't grown any. He seems to think is will go away on its own. No shots for this kid yet. So it was a happy appointment for all 3 of us.
Things you do that make us smile...
smile:) your whole face lights up when you do
laugh when we "eat your belly"
you love taking baths with dad
grab you little toes
rolling..belly to back you are a pro, still waiting on the back to belly(very close)
You hate cereal, and are not a fan of baby food. You are getting a little better at banannas and oatmeal cereal. Its a texture thing with you..or so we think. We will just keep trying. You make the funniest faces when you eat..yuck!
You tend to have quite stinky toots buddy..its true
You scrunch up your little body when we hold you sometimes, we call it "buckin bull"
You have started arching your back when you are upset(don't like this one)
favorite toy..Chewing your giraffe, and the quacky duck
Anything you do, is just wonderful. I can't believe how quickly you change, and how much I love you.

  1. I know it's terrible, but I highly recommend sprinkling a little sugar in the cereal.
