Some people are newborn people. They love newborns, can't get enough of them, want to have more babies so they can have a newborn. But ever since I had the personal of parenting a newborn, I'm more of a toddler person. I love toddlers, they are SO fun. Of course every age has it's challenges, but nothing exhausts me like a newborn.
David is 6 months old, and I'm pretty giddy about it.
Reaching six months seems to be a huge hurdle for babies. Today I was putting the stickers on the September page of David's baby calendar, and I was peeling stickers like crazy. Just in the last 2 weeks, David has:
* Gotten his first tooth,
* Started solid food,
* Rolled in both directions consistently,
* Learned to sit up (this one blew my mind - one day he couldn't, next day he could),
* Found his feet, and
* Manipulated toys.
Not only that, we're moving out of the tiny baby phase. Just this week, we have:
* Put away the bouncy seat,
* Put away the swing,
* Gotten out the jumperoo,
* Started carrying him in and out of the car without his carrier (ugh - that thing is so awkward. Surely there's an engineer out there who can make those easier to carry, don't you think?), and
David had his well visit yesterday, and unlike last time, I didn't have any questions or overly paranoid concerns.
Weight: 19 pounds, 9 ounces, 80%'ile

Several people in the office commented on David's happy temperament, even after he had had his shots. He is a sweetheart. I love you, Bubs, more and more everyday.

David is catching up to Emmaline! He is getting so big!
How do you like the new sling? I love mine and still carry Emmy in it. It's been through 3 kids now and is really faded, but since we don't know if we'll have any more kids, I don't want to replace it.
What a cutie! It's sad to me that he's six months old and I've only seen him ONCE in that whole time! :(
yeah for the happy, healthy checkup and WOW, so much happening with him right now...Go David! Liam has his 15 month check tomorrow and I hope it goes as well as David's :)
Can I have him??? Please?????
He's a charmer, that David! I brought in some vacation pictures for my bulletin board at work---which just HAPPENS to be full of family pictures. On one side is a picture of David at about 3 days old. On the other side he is wearing his Hilton Head Island hat and smiling like a parrot-head in Margueritaville! What a change! Stay small for a little while, baby!!!!
I TOTALLY hear you on that newborn phase thing. We've got a 2mos old at home, and since labor I've been saying adopting a 2 yr old would be fantastic....
He's super cute, though. AND a happy personality?! Awesome...
