Our sweet little boy turned 6 months on Wednesday! It is just crazy how fast time goes! It feels like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital and trying to figure out what to do with him and how to survive with little to no sleep and another person in our house--who was so tiny! But now we cannot imagine our life without him.

At 6 months Brayden is still growing like a weed! We are scheduled to go for his 6 month appointment next Monday...so I will let everyone know weight and length then...but my guess is over 28 inches long and 20 pounds....YES...he is a big boy...but well proportioned! And we have already upgraded from the infant carseat!

Here is what Brayden is up to at a 1/2 year:

He still loves to eat---so far we have tried peas, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, pears, apples, bananas, prunes, peaches and avacodos---this is the only food he has not been crazy about...but I figure we will just keep trying it and maybe it will grow on him...and if not...thats ok too!

He is eating 2 meals a day....but today we are trying 3! The doctor told me at 5 1/2 months he could go to 3 meals...but I wasn't ready yet!

He LOVES to sit....no longer does he like to be on his belly or back now that he has mastered sitting...He still wobbles, but many times he can catch himself

He is still intrigued with Bruiser and has found his tail and knows how to pull it---Watch out Bruiser!

He still LOVES the bath. We got him a bath seat and he went crazy kicking his legs in it and laughing. He still tries to catch the water as it comes out of the faucet...and is sad every time bath time is over

He loves to babble...and at times his babbling is more like yelling!

He puts anything and everything in his mouth--case in point---we went to Jewel yesterday and I put him in the Baby Bjorn....he was holding my grocery list...well I thought he was holding it...and I went to check it....and poof! 1/2 was gone....Brayden had ate it!

He still is such a SMILEY guy...and he is such a flirt too especially with Nora and Billie

Brayden is not a great napper....so at times that can be rough...however he does sleep about 11 hours at night...WONDERFUL sleep for the parents...however I am sure that this will change with the teeth start to come in--but no teeth yet!

He is a great snuggler....I love to snuggle and cuddle with him...and do every chance I can, because I know he will be on the move soon

He is very ticklish....by the neck, under the arms and feet...are the most ticklish!

He loves to be outside...whether its in the stroller, baby carrier, or at the park he loves it.

He is just so curious and smart and he amazes Aaron and I every day with something new. Life with Brayden is great. Being a parent is a hard job but the reward that comes with it---is just wonderful! We are loving every second---even though time is going way too fast....and we are excited to see what each new day brings!
