6 Months Old!

It's amazing how much can change in only 6 months. Our once laid back, reserved little boy has turned into a super active little go-getter!Around 2 weeks old

6 months and 1 week old

Here are some of the things that Dawson has accomplished in the last month:

Weight: 15lbs, 12oz

Height: 26 1/2"

String Bean: The health nurse said he is in the 75% for height and the 25th% for weight

New Tricks:

-Sitting (he will only do it once and a while, oddly enough it's often when he is around his little girlfriends, what a show off)

-Standing (he can now stand with out the help of mom or dad for a few short seconds, as long as he has something to lean against)

Trying to Learn: He is trying to learn to crawl. We will often catch him lying on his tummy with his bum in the air trying his darnedest to push himself forward, he just has to figure out how to get the arms part working and he'll be gone.

Yum, Yum: He has started solid foods, so far he has tried rice cereal, barley cereal, carrots, apples, sweet potatoes, and peas. His favorite seems to be apples.

He prefers: Sleeping on his tummy, no matter how many times we turn him onto his back, over he goes. It's actually not uncommon to put him to sleep in one end of his crib and wake up to find him on the opposite end.

Major Show Off: He loves being the center of attention and does not play shy. He will take any opportunity to show off his new tricks.
