Colton Edward: 6 months

This is seriously the best age!! You are curious about everything! You want to touch what ever you see.  You love to just sit and play with your toys.  It is so much fun to watch you.  You "talk" a lot but no words yet.  I say every day to Daddy that we lucked out in the baby department with you. You are such a happy, easy going little boy.  I am so looking forward to this summer when we can play all day, go swimming, and go to the park.  I can't say enough how much I love you!  

6 month update
Size:Weight: 20 pounds 4 ounces (98th percentile)
Height: 28 1/2 inches (98th percentile)
Head: 18 1/2 (100th percentile)
You are currently wearing 12-18 month and even some 24 month clothes and size 3 diapers.  

Food: We introduced purees at about 5 1/2 months.  We first tried sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and apple sauce but you didn't enjoy them at all.  I keep trying and you seem to be getting better.  We have started to try the baby lead weaning method which is us just letting you taste what we are eating and it seems to be going better.  You eat anywhere from 17-24 oz of breast milk at day care a day and nurse when you wake up, when we get home from day care, and right before bed.

Sleep: 10-12 hours.  You still go to bed at 7:00 and wake between 6am-7am.  You take a morning nap, afternoon nap, and late afternoon nap.  Your naps range from 30 minutes to 2 hours.  

Hair: It is growing longer everyday.  It is still a dark blond color and has hints of red when you are in the sunlight.  

Eyes: Still blue with beautifully, long eyelashes.  

Activity: No crawling but you are able to sit up unassisted.  You still love to jump in your Exersaucer  or doorway jumper.  If you are on your back you automatically roll over on your stomach but can't roll back over.  You grab for everything! It then goes directly to your mouth.  You love to just sit and play with your toys.

Likes: Mommy, playing with your toys, jumping, swinging.

Dislikes: Being hungry or tired.
