You are growing so quickly. At your 6 month check up you weighed 21lbs, 4oz and are in the 96th percentile for weight. You are 28.5 inches long which puts you in the 98th percentile for height. You are solidly in 12 month clothes and look so cute wearing some of the same clothes that your older brothers wore.
Micah it is so fun to watch you grow and explore your body. Sometimes you lay and watch your hand as you open and close it. We can only imagine the thoughts going on in your growing brain as you do this and the connections you are making. You've also begun grabbing your feet while you're laying on your back. You seem to enjoy rocking back and forth while holding your feet. You are spending more time on your tummy lately, however you still do not like to roll on to it while you are asleep. If you do roll, you cry out for us to come and save you. You enjoy looking at yourself in the mirror we have in your play area. You push the front of your body all the way up and wiggle back and forth and watch yourself. You are still loving time in your bouncer. boy do you love to jump up and down! You often find yourself having your own little party in the bouncer shrieking and bouncing away. We have also started putting you in the highchair at lunch and dinner time with the family. We give you toys to play with and you think it is so much fun to drop a toy and have your brothers pick it up for you.
You continue to be a great sleeper, waking up once or twice briefly when you roll onto your tummy. You are our only kiddo who has loved having a pacifier. It seems to bring you a lot of comfort. You typically need a pacifier to fall asleep or if you wake up in the middle of the night we go in and pop a pacifier back in your mouth and you are happy and head right back to sleep. Our pacifier collection is rapidly growing!
Micah your big adventure this month was taking a road trip to the Oregon Coast. We stayed in a rental house on the beach to celebrate mama and papa's 10 year wedding anniversary. You did a great job with the long car ride. You also didn't mind being in a new location. You are always intrigued by sleeping in the pack n play. You tend to struggle going to sleep for your first nap in the pack n play. It usually takes you a little bit longer to fall asleep because you love scratching the netting of the crib to hear the fun sound it makes.
Shortly before you turned 6 months old you tried your first food - avocado! Your initial reaction was hilarious. You were very confused by this green food. You didn't mind touching it or playing with it, but you didn't love the texture of it in your mouth.
During your 7th month of life we think you are looking forward to taking a trip to Eastern Washington with friends and going on another family camping trip.
Here are some photos from your 6th month.
