Six Months

We have survived 6 months of parenthood! It's funny how quickly the time has gone, yet it feels like we have had him forever. Our little Ian is not so little anymore. Ben is particularly proud to say that Ian is in the 90th percentile for height and 50th for weight. He is turning into a very active little boy. We love being his parents and seeing his sweet smile. We live to make him laugh. Hearing those giggles makes our hearts swell with pride and joy. What a blessing he has been to our lives.

Ian still has very blue eyes and his hair is really starting to grow now!

He is eating solids like a champ. Loves his oatmeal and green beans are a hit.

He is getting his second front bottom tooth and is far less irritable with this one!

He has a "Storm Trooper" band that he has been wearing for the past month to help with some flattening on the back of his head. Good news: he gets it off this Tuesday after just 4 weeks of wear. Momma is very excited to be done with it, but grateful it did its job.

He smiles very generously to all and still doesn't mind being held by strangers.

He loves toys that make noise and that he can chew on.

He loves jumping in his new doorway jumper.

He loves to read/chew on books.

Funny noises make him laugh.

He squeals A LOT.

He loves to pull hair...particularly Momma's, but he does not discriminate, any hair will do.

He still blows out regularly, especially at church for some reason.

He can sit up by himself for short periods, but is getting better at it every day.

He still hates tummy time. Every time I put him on his tummy he flips right over and gives me a big smile. Sometimes he forgets that he can roll over and gets angry.

He still loves being on the changing table. In fact, that's where we get the most giggles!

He has a sweet demeanor and shares his love in many ways. We couldn't be happier! Here are a few pictures of our boy as he has grown:

 

Happy half birthday little guy! We love you!
