Halfway to a year

Happy six months, Wes! We love you baby!
We haven't been to the Pediatrician for your check up yet, but I'm guessing you weigh between 16.5-17 lbs. You are getting HEAVY! ( I'll have to come back with the actual stats later) You wear a 2-3 in a pampers diaper and you fit easily into 6-9 clothing for the most part.
I thought for awhile that you had a tooth poking through, but I was wrong. Nothing yet...although I imagine it will be soon. You are a big slobbery, hand chewing mess.
You are nursing about every 3.5-4 hours. Every once in awhile I let you suck on a banana, some avocado or try a bit of what we are eating. You have done fine with everything we have let you try. Today, I mixed up a little bit of oatmeal for you to try and you loved it :)
You still roll everywhere. You can't quite sit up without help yet. You've gotten yourself up on your hands and knees a time or two like you wanted to crawl, but those moments were pretty short lived.
You continue to think Owen is hysterical. You hang out with daddy much better now, and still love me a whole bunch but are doing better with other people as well. We've put you in the nursery at church a few times now and it hasn't gone particularly well :) Poor baby. (poor nursery workers) You'll learn that its a fun place to be eventually :)
For the most part you sleep from about 8PM-6 or 7 AM. It doesn't work like that every single day, but in general, that is your schedule. You continue to be a pretty pitiful napper. I'm trying to be better at laying you down at the same times every day, but if we are ever out doing thing you usually fall asleep in the car and this messes everything up.
You also are developing a bit of a temper! You've thrown a couple of what I consider to be "baby tantrums" :) Maybe you are just really passionate, but we'll see how this translates into toddlerhood!
Love you sweet pea. Can't believe you are six months old. It just goes to fast. We are so happy you are ours.
