Happy 1/2 Birthday Austin!

Our sweet baby boy is 6 months old today. He is so alert and busy already. At his check-up this week he was so curious he kept trying to get the doctor's stethoscope and watch. The doctor said that he is a very healthy baby and that we would have our hands full keeping up with our busy boys very soon. He weighs 20.9 lbs (95%) and is 27.5 inches long (90%).

No teeth yet, but he sticks anything he can get his hands on in his mouth. I am having to watch him closer now and set up the playpen for times when I can't be right with him because he is such a mover. He rolls and scoots across the floor to get what he wants. He is starting pre-crawl motions, but has not put it all together yet.

Austin is a very good eater. He enjoys all the baby foods we have tried. Sleeping is a different story. He is currently not sleeping well. He fights most naps as hard as possible and wakes up every 4-5 hours at night.

Austin's favorite things are swinging, playing peak-a-boo with Dylan, teething on his dog rattle, and scooting around the floor during his tummy time.

Mmmm...Gumming a green bean

Loving Swing time with Dylan

So happy that Pops came to visit this weekend for Austin's 1/2 Birthday!


Happy 1/2 Birthday Austin! We love you!
