holy cow, he's 6 months!

That was the fastest 6 months of my life!  As of yesterday, our little guy is half a year old!  I can't believe it! Brennan has brought so much love and joy into our home.  Here are some facts about him at 6 months:


- When he smiles, his eyes light up and he grins SO big!  He smiles SO easily.  He has started to bite his bottom lip while he smiles too so he sometimes looks like bitter beer face...but a very cute bitter beer face :)
- He has beautiful eyes and the longest, prettiest eyelashes.
- He is a picky eater.  He does not like bottles.  We are starting to get him to take a bottle occasionally though which will allow me to be gone for more than 3 hours at a time :) 
- He loves his exersaucer and bumbo.

- He's a thumb sucker.
- Sleeping has not really been his forte so far. He takes short naps and wakes up at least once every night.  But it is slowly getting better so I hope sleep training is finally working! :)
- He likes to stick his hand in his mouth when I am feeding him baby food and so the food always gets everywhere!
- He loves to be held and he'll go to anyone. Definitely not a shy little guy.
- He coos and babbles to us.  It's adorable.
- He loves the binky.  But only the binky we got from the hospital.  He won't take any other binky.
- He loves going on walks and being outside.
- He can roll, but doesn't do it often.  
- He is constantly laughing at Aiden and Aiden is constantly trying to make him laugh.  They can face each other in our stroller and B just laughs and smiles at Aiden the entire time. Moments like that are why I love being a mom! They seriously love each other so much already!
- Also, he is learning to sit up!  He leans way forward with his arm out to balance (so Nate thinks he looks like a baby gorilla) but he's getting the hang of it. In a few weeks I'm sure he'll be pro. 

Happy 1/2 birthday little B!!

Wow, he is getting so big! I can't believe how much he has changed, even since the last time we have seen you. That tells me that we need to get together more often.:) He is a doll!
