Sixth Month

6 months! Wow It is very hard for me to believe that Rhett is 1/2 a year old. He is such a sweet blessing from the Lord. He is one of my favorite ages. He is starting to interact more but not super mobile yet. I am enjoying this age because he is able to do so much more stuff these days. Here are some boring stats or just scroll on down for the sweet pictures:

• eyes are completely brown now
• fuzzy hair, he has lost most of his original hair and is getting new growth in
• chunky legs
• always has a BIG grin (two teeth now too)
• always covered in drool or spit up

New discoveries

• Rolling like crazy
• trying hard to sit up
• when sitting up- his favorite toys are his feet
• tries to pull his knees up under him while he is on his belly
• slept on his belly a few nights this month (his choice)
• enjoys listening to his daddy & Caleb talk
• perks up when we play music

Bath Time

• instantly flips onto his belly and flaps around
• C never wanted to be on his belly at bath time. He must have taken after his cousin Addi

• got two bottom teeth this month
• enjoys chewing on his teethers-- when they are not cold

Babbles

• He is babbling so much more these days.

• He is a great napper when he wants to be. He normally takes anywhere from a 1-2 hour nap.

• Goes to bed between 7:30-8:30
• Normally wakes up for good between 6-7
• Sometimes wakes up for a bottle in the middle of the night
• wakes up SUPER HAPPY
• Sneezes multiple times when I turn his lamp on (I always crack up)

Happenings:

• Lots of time outside enjoying the abnormal beautiful weather
• My friend Meg & her sweet daughter came over for a play date. She got to see what my crazy life with 2 looks like.
• Our precious family friends (Luke, Laura, and Baylor) came down for a weekend to visit before they have a new baby. Rhett enjoyed  all the attention that Baylor gave him so much.
• Quality time with cousins- Aunt KK and her kiddos came down for the weekend. The kids enjoyed playing outside. Rhett was pampered by Tate. Tate pushed him in the stroller all morning.
• First Ice/Snow- Rhett got to see his first ice. It was too cold for him to really enjoy it. Next year will be a different story, I'm sure.
• Mountain Home Day Trip- Our close friends had their first son this month. We made a quick trip to visit and get some sweet baby loving.
