6 Months!


On June 30, Gibson turned 6 months! He's halfway to one already! Crazy! He's getting so big and we're having such a good time watching him grow. He is still such an easy baby! He's just so happy and content most days. I am so thankful that he has been such an easy baby--I'm sure we'll hit a stage at some point where that will change though:).

Layla is so good with him and he just loves to watch her and laugh at (and with) her. I still love the stage that he's at--he's developing more of a personality, he sleeps a lot and he can't move:). He is working on learning to sit, but can't sit on his own yet. He has been rolling both ways for quite some time now, but for some reason doesn't do it very often. Layla was never much of a roller either. He was sleeping on his tummy at times, but lately never does--he sleeps on his back or side. His schedule is now breakfast at 8/8:30 which is rice cereal and a bottle (7 oz about--I'm trying to figure out how much milk he should drink at each feeding now that he eats food), nap from about 10-11, lunch at 11:30/noon of fruit and a bottle, nap from about 1-3, snack bottle at 3:30, nap from about 5-6, supper at 6:30/7ish of a veggie and a bottle and then bed time at 7:30ish.

He did really well at his 6 month check up. He was happy the whole time until the shots came, but then recovered quickly. This appointment was with the nurse practitioner and she said he was doing well. He wasn't doing everything they asked me about (like sitting), but she said he's doing what he should be doing. I took him off his Prevacid shortly before the appointment and it doesn't seem to bother him. He still spits up like crazy and lately it's been really gross now that there's baby food with it! Oh, and his clogged tear duct is all cleared up! I didn't even really notice until maybe a few weeks b/f his appointment I realized I hadn't seen it tear in awhile.

Here are his stats:
Height: 26.5" - 25th%
Weight: 16 lbs 5 oz - 50th% (that's exactly what Layla weighed at a year!)
Head: 42.4 - 25th%

Some sibling love pics:-)...



I swear he was having fun:)...



I love his face here:)...




Working on sitting...


Napping after his shots...I don't often take pics of him sleeping, so I thought it was cute:)...

Showing off his bandaids...


Tucking her brother in and her buddies too:)...




Gibson loves to stick his tongue out so Layla thought she'd copy him...


Layla thought she'd be nice and put a bracelet on him. It's trouble all the tiny toys she has that he can now get into!


More sibling love:)...


He still loves his Bumbo even though he has some issues getting stuck in it at times:)...

Oh my goodness! That third picture of Layla and Gibson sitting together is awesome. He looks like he's trying to escape. Too cute.
