Hot Off The Camera: Beau @ 6 Months

Whoa--two posts in one day! Hot off the camera are pictures of Beau at six months. For any that noticed, yes, I did NOT take pictures at 5 months. Oops. Well, it wasn't like I forgot, but it was right around the time we were getting ready for Hawaii and it was not a priority to me. It's rather a big pain to take these pictures, and I'm contemplating just taking them whenever he has his doctor appointments, but then I feel bad that Isaac has them every month.... but I'm sure I'll get over that feeling. :)

So, can you believe it, Beau is SIX MONTHS already. He weighs 16 lbs 3 oz (25%) and is 27 inches long (70%) and I don't remember his head measurement, but it is in the 25th percentile.

He does pretty well sitting up -- not well enough to put him down and walk away -- but well enough that he can sit up. He rolls like a rolling King. We can put him on the floor and he can roll to other side of the room. It's great now--a few weeks ago when he would roll to his stomach right away in his crib and fall asleep and then wake up screaming because he couldn't get back to his back -- was not a very fun period.

He's so chill, he eats solids twice a day and is a good sleeper. He is pretty content with Isaac climbing on him, never fusses, I'm sure that will change. He still nurses 5 times a day and sleeps for about 12 hours at night. His naps during the day total about 5-6 hours.

He seems to love the pool. He always is squirming to get in, so I assume that means he likes it. I love this next picture -- Isaac is trying to kiss Beau and Beau has his hand on Isaac's mouth trying to push him away.


I can't wait to watch their love and relationship develop! And yes, this is a classic Beau face: big eyes, open mouth. Like I said, he is pretty chill.

Up next: I believe we should be seeing teeth pretty soon....

So cute! My girls have just started really playing with each other and laughing at each other. it just melts my heart!! It's so nice they can play for up to an hour together and they are still not really at the point where they fight. It looks like your boys will get along pretty good. They are so handsome!

Hudson did the same thing, rolling over on his stomach and then get mad because he couldn't roll back over. I remember those long long nights. Both kids are adorable! It's so fun to watch them grow!!
