Happy 1/2 Birthday Colin!! Our precious boy is getting big:) He weighs 17 lbs and is roughly 27 1/2 inches long. He has his 6 mth check up on Monday, so we will have more acurate height and weight. He is wearing mostly 6 month clothes, but some 3-6 and size 3 diapers.
He still has dark eyes. Sometimes they look brown, but sometimes they look a little green. His hair is still brown, but since it has starting thickening up, it is starting to lighten up a little too. He still looks a lot like daddy, but a lot of people say he is a good mix. I definitely think he has my eyes:)
He still sleeps in his pack-n-play beside our bed. This is more for mommy. I am sure he would be fine in his crib, but I am just not quite ready for that yet. He falls asleep between 7:30-8:30 and wakes up between 5:45-6:30 for a bottle, but then will go right back to sleep.
He eats 5-6 ounces every 3-4 hours. He also eats stage food baby food twice a day. He eats fruit in the morning and a vegetable at night. He LOVES food. He sits with us at the table when we eat dinner and has shown lots of interest in our food. I have let him taste a few things:) He loves mashed potatoes!
He started sitting up on Christmas day and has recently started rolling over from his back to his belly. When he is on his belly, he has started pulling his knees under him like he is going to crawl. He loves playing in his sitting on the floor and playing with is toys.
He loves playing peek-a-boo and when Daddy startles him. He has really started to get curious about things lately. He will lean over and reach items and makes the cutest little face:) He has also showing lots as interest in Malik. He will reach for him and grab his hair. He also loves watching Malik and Coralplay and smiles so big when they start licking him:)
He is teething even more now, but still no teeth. He is constantly chewing on something. His paci, toys, fingers, his feet, carseat strap, ect:) He also loves chewing on his frozen teethers. His eye hand coordination is really good, so if something is within his reach that he wants, he gets it. He also has a really good grip, so it is hard to get things away from him like mommy's hair:)
He still loves Baby Einstein and other Nick Jr shows thanks to LK and Blakely. Mommy and Daddy both know the theme song to Wonder Pets! He still plays in his activity station too. He is really starting to show his personality more and more. He is quick to let you know if he is not happy about something too. He will start whining and blowing bubbles.
He has started to show his bashful side a little bit too. When his Aunt Steph talks to him in her "baby talk", he will smile really big and start putting his head down. It is the cutest!
Happy 6 months Colin Ollie!! Mommy and Daddy love you so much!
