Happy Half Birthday Brady!

This six months seems to have gone by much faster than Ethan's first six months. Nevertheless, Brady is half a year already! I can't believe it. This kid needs to slow down. He got extra rocking tonight. I enjoyed just taking in his babyness and baby smells for a little longer. They will be gone far too soon. 


He is a happy boy for the most part. He is on the tail end of the bored phase. The one that he can see others doing things but, he can't quite do anything other than watch. He is sitting up on his own for the most part now. He will still fall backward if he gets a little too excited or if I stand up directly in front him. 

Excuse Ethan's finger
But, going forward and sideways is usually an intended motion to get to something. He is trying so hard to crawl. The only thing missing is his traction. If left on his belly at all he will be in push up position and then continues to rock back and forth. I suspect he will be crawling by Christmas. 






He still loves his brother. The love is mutual....until Brady grabs his toys. And so it begins. 


Get out of my photoshoot, bro
He is also a very loud baby. But, it is a happy loud. He squeals just to hear himself sometimes. He has also recently found his tongue. So, it is constantly out or he is making noises with it as well. 



He is still eating well. He has liked just about everything I have given him. He is definitely a second child. I am not near as weird about what he eats this time around. He mostly eats homemade purees right now. But, he also has proven to like the good mashed potatoes, refried beans, and guacamole (very, very mild...it was mostly avocado really). 
We had his 6 month check-up today. He has a great support system to ready him for his shots. The doctor said he is doing great. And she is impressed he is moving as well as he does for a big boy. 


Here are his updated stats: 

Weight: 24 lbs, 5 oz (95%)
Height: 27.25 inches (80%)
Head Circumference: 18 inches (95%)

And just as a comparison, here is a side by side of Ethan's 6 month picture.
