B boy is six months old!

SIX MONTHS BENNETT!!!
You weigh 16 lbs and are 26.25 in. tall. You are looking skinnier these days, but still healthy.

You are so much fun! You are becoming so curious, but your sister gets upset when I call you "curious Bennett". Probably because you are not a monkey like George. You sister absolutely adores you. You are a lucky little boy to have such a loving sister

You look at every noise, light, and want to touch, and grab everything and see what it tastes like. You most recently have grabbed handfuls of my frosted chocolate cupcake, and my Caesar salad. It is impossible to hold you while eating now.

You still get stuck on your tummy when you roll over. You are getting better at pushing up on your arms but are still not even close to crawling of any sort. You still can not sit up by yourself but I can tell you are close. You are strong enough, but your problem is your curiosity and wanting to grab everything which makes you topple.

You have recently become one of the world's cutest screamers. Seriously you are loud. And you sound like a little girl. It is adorable.

You are saying ba, ma, etc., and blowing rasberries like crazy. You seem to be one extreme or the other. So loud or very calm and quiet.

You hate books! Let me take that back. You love to try to eat books. You hate it when I try to read books to you and won't let you eat the darn thing. You usually end up throwing a fit and because of this we don't read too often.

You love your daddy, aka. "diaper phantom". You don't see him too often (usually only at 4 am when he changes your diaper every morning), but when you do happen to see him during waking hours you are so excited. This is when you are the loudest, and probably the cutest. I love watching you and your dad play together.

You still suck at sleeping. You are awful. We started cry it out tonight. We will see how it goes. You nap only 20 minutes if you are in your crib. You will nap 40 minutes if you are in the bouncer in the pitch black bathroom with the bathroom fan on. You will nap over an hour if I hold you. Never will you nap close to two hours. At night you usually sleep about 4 hours in the beginning, then every 2-3 the rest of the night. Your bedtime is 8, and you wake up for the day around 7:30.

 You love baths! You splash around like crazy and I love it!

 You started solids and seem to do pretty well! You loved your first time eating carrots tonight!

We love you Bennett! Happy six months!
