Oh my...how is it possible that we are the proud parents of a six month old already? 

Six month stats:

weight ~ 19 lbs 12 oz  and is in the 90%
height ~ 28 inches and is in the 95%

I would say bawed on those numbers that he is growing perfectly fine.  He had his first reaction to shots with a fever that night but it went away the next day luckily.  He was a very calm sick baby.  Didn't cry much and was so cuddly. 

We have been giving him more foods lately.  So far everything seems to be a hit except for peas.  Yesterday he tried Gerber's version of chicken and noodles.  To me it looks like mustard but it does smell like chicken noodles when cooked.  I gave it a try today...sure doesn't taste like it but he seems to really like it.

We took him to his first football game on 10.1.11, Navy vs. Air Force.  He seemed to really enjoy himself.  It was a bit cold and ended up starting to rain during overtime but he was awake and paying attention for most of the game.  Might have a future ESPN lover on our hands. 

Sturges was reading Taedon a negotiations book the other day.  He was really into it as you can tell.

We have teeth!!!!!   

 Brushing his teeth.

 Random picture in his "devil" outfit.

To give perspective on how much he has grown since we brought him home.  He used to sleep sideways like this in his bed.  Not so much anymore.

"Good morning mom!  How did you sleep?"  We have been having issues getting him to sleep at night.  He slept through the night from two weeks to about four months then he just randomly stopped.  The doctor suggested we just let him cry it out so that he learns to self sooth.  I knew this day would come eventually but it wasn't easy to start it.  We have been doing it and had two successful nights so far.  I hope he keeps it up for everyones sake.

Sitting up all by himself.  He will last for about a minute before he falls over but still it is progress.

Best buddies as always...

Relaxation...
