6 Month Update

Drake turned 6 months old on the 15th of this month. I know everyone says this, but I cannot believe how fast time goes. He is doing new things every day! I just love this little man and I am so grateful I get to be home with him all day. At his six month doctors check up he was very healthy. He weighs 16 lbs 6 ounces being in the 23% for weight. He is 271/2 inches long being in the 75% for height. And his head is in the 94%. So we have a tall skinny baby that is really smart!! :) Here is an update of what Drake doing, what his little personality is like, and what he enjoys.

He loves his Johnny Jump at Grandma Rohwers

He is sitting up

He loves to cuddle

He has chubby knees

He loves going to his great grandpa and grandma's house. They think he is pretty cool too!

He loves his seahorse Simon.

-He likes to be wrapped up tight to go to sleep
-He babbles all day
-He says da da da all day (not ma ma ma)
-He shakes his head back and fourth a lot

-He loves his binky
-He loves when Grandpa Rohwer puts jam and pudding on his binky
-He laughs when I check to see if he is poopy by smelling his diaper

Ok so I could go on and on about this boy. But those are some things that I want to remember about his personality at this age. He keeps us smiling and as you can see is has us both wrapped around his little finger. He is very spoiled! But, you know what..... who cares! I am having a blast with him and I love him more than anything!
