Happy 6 months! (4.7.2011)

Travis,

Has it really been half a year already? I can't believe you're 6 months old! I woke up today and asked myself, "where did time go?" Time seems to have just flown by the past 6 months because it feels like I just took you home from the hospital yesterday. You were so tiny still, I remember your newborn clothes were still baggy on you because you were a tiny little prince! Now you're so big and chunky! 

Six month stats:

• 18lbs and 12oz! Triple your birth weight (well almost) of 6lbs 3oz! You are at the 75th percentile for weight. 
• 26 1/4 inches, putting you at 50th percentile for height (your pediatrician says you're a bit chunky in proportion to your height, but that's okay!).
• Eating more solids. Your favorites are: peas, carrots, sweet potato, bananas, pears, rice cereal, and oatmeal.
• Eating 2 times a day, sometimes 3.
• Still in size 3 diapers.
• Slowly growing out of your 6 month clothing and growing into your 9 month clothing.
• Drinking six ounces of breastmilk approximately 4-5 times a day.
• Enjoying tummy time a bit more when he's in the right mood.
• Able to sit unassisted for a few minutes
• You can pull yourself to a sitting position from a lying down position when I take your hands and pull you up a bit.
• You can scoot (on your tummy) a few inches forward and all the way around!
• You love sleeping on your side.
• You can almost roll over from your back to tummy if you just give it that one last push!

Even though daddy isn't here with us for now, just know that daddy and I love you very very much! You're our world. You have brought so much joy and happiness to me and your dad's life. We are thankful every single moment we spend with you. My baby Travis you are such a blessing and the best gift ever!
