I feel so bad because now my baby is 7 1/2 months old and I still haven't posted about the big half-birthday!! I got the kids up and out the door to the front lawn early on May 1. I wanted to take some pictures of Colin just like I did for Ryan in the same outfit in some of the same locations. (Here are Kaitlyn's.) I wanted some early morning sun, so I got them out there early. Well, the big kids were not happy about Colin getting all the face time. So, we went inside to get everyone dressed and the last picture is what was chosen. I ADORE my little stair steps. I never knew that I wanted THREE, but I wouldn't change/trade these 3 amazing children for anything in the world!!!
(of course, don't catch me on a bad day...I may be willing to sell them to the highest bidder!!)
Colin 6 month stats:
20 lbs 8 oz
27 3/4 inches
18 inches for head circumference
colin can sit on his own and eats baby food 3 times a day (1 jar each time). He still takes a bottle 4 times a day and started holding it himself (on occasion) at about 6.5 months. He loves his walker and can scoot around pretty well with it. He still doesn't have teeth. I can't say I'm really surprised. Ryan nor Kaitlyn had any until after 7 months. He gets really excited when you pay individual attention to him. I mean, really excited. It is the cutest thing to watch. He knows when his daddy is talking to him on the phone. He gets the biggest grin and just looks at the phone intently like Mike will jump out or something. He is still very much a mama's boy. He cries if I leave the room and he watches me all the time. He is SUPER entertained by Ryan and Kaitlyn. Though, honestly, how could you not be. Those two are ALWAYS getting into some sort of mischief!
Overall, Colin is the sweetest baby. He sleeps 11 hours, gets up at 6:30 or 7 for a bottle. Takes a 2 hour nap in the morning and another 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon. He goes back to bed between 7:30 and 8:15 depending on how quickly I get R and K in bed and give him his final 4th bottle. He is patient, sweet, thoughtful, and seems to have a very social little personality. I think he will fit in just fine with his older brother and sister. I can't wait to see what this time next year will bring us. (I think I better be armed with some amazing parenting ideas b/c I think these 3 are going to give me a run for my money!!!)
