Sneak Peak

Here's a sneak peak of Brody's 6 month pictures.  Many more to follow but I wanted to get this one up for my out of towners.

Half A Year Old

Last week little Brody celebrated his 6 month birthday.  I can't believe he's 6 months already!  Today we went to the doctor for his check up and here are his stats:


Length:  27.2" 60th percentile
Weight:  16.8#  40th percentile
Head:  17.4"  60th percentile


As Chris put it he's the runt of the liter as both the other boys were way up around the 80th percentile in everything.

Here are some of the things I want to remember about him at this age:

• Rolls in both directions.
• Sits by himself for a short time.
• Plays contently with his toys.
• Rolls to get where he wants to go.
• Loves to play in his bouncy toys and bounce, bounce, bounce.
• Still sticks everything in his mouth.
• Likes to drop things on the floor for us all to pick up-pick up, drop, repeat.
• He loves his brothers and loves to play with them.
• Very ticklish and giggles just at the sight of pretending to be tickled. 
• Enjoys time in the bumbo.
• Is eating baby food.
• Does not sleep through the night but we're working on this one because both of us need a good nights sleep.
• Likes to nap with his blanket by his cheek.
• Really likes his mommy (I kinda like this too).
• Changes his mood on a dime!  He's either smiling or screaming and can change from one extreme or the other with little or no warning.
• Looks like Colby and Chris as a baby, which is weird because Colby looks like me.
• Likes to squeal to make sure we all know he's here.

But the most noticeable thing about him is his huge ear to ear grin. Everyone who sees him comments on his grin.  It's one of my favorite things about him, that and his blue eyes.  I'm hoping they stay blue!

I love this little boy dearly and am so glad he decided to join our family to make it complete.  Here's just a sampling of his cuteness!
