Happy Half Birthday Jackson!

We had our six month photoshoot today and I could barely get him to smile again. Although it was annoying, I was mostly worried that he would do the same thing with his actual six month pictures later in the afternoon. I didn't plan well and scheduled them for the day after his six month shots. He did great with the pictures though and I can't wait to get them in a couple weeks. In the meantime, here are his monthly pictures.

Jackon, at six months old you are:

• weighing 17 pounds and 4 ounces.
• 26 and 3/4 inches long.
• in the 83rd percentile for head circumference at 17 and 3/4 inches.
• sitting up all by yourself. I still have to be careful though because you topple over sometimes.
• eating rice cereal, sweet potatoes, acorn squash, and golden delicious apples. You make the best faces when you get a new taste in your mouth.
• have a sippy cup on your high chair but you see it more as a toy right now. You always look surprised when water comes out of it.
• have one bottom tooth that is barely poking through your gums.
• starting to make some consonant sounds. You say mamamamamama a lot.
• very unpredictable when it comes to sleep. Some nights you will sleep 11 hours straight and other nights you wake up and want a bottle. You used to take great naps in your crib but now you cry and cry until I pick you up. We'll keep working on it!
• reaching for toys (or mommy's cell phone) that are just out of reach.
• chewing on EVERYTHING !
• ONE AMAZING LITTLE MAN!!!
