month 6 I suppose

Wow, we are just skipping month 5 apparently, because I suck at keeping up with this now that you are mobile. I will try to go in chronological order anyway, but this covers months 5 & 6. At your six month check up you were 20 pounds and 2 ounces (85th percentile), although you lost some weight right before that appointment, we will cover that later. You were 29.5 inches tall however, which is 98th percentile. Your head is normal :) You also got three immunizations that you reacted very poorly too and ran a fever for a day. It was miserable for all of us.

So, where were we....oh yes, the MMMMM sound and sitting up. You have mastered three words that you can use correctly. Dad, mama and ella--although ella sounds more like eyyyahhh. However, you think mama is overrated and only use when you are in the car and want out. You say dad numerous times a day, usually in the morning when you roll over and wake dad up, or at night when you are hyper and want to play. You don't say dada, you say daad. It is adorable. You have also mastered screaming, squealing, yelling, growling and various sounds. You have also started to crawl, pull yourself up, army crawl around the house, chase Ella and Roomba and blow kisses. You love clapping, singing and sliding off the couch.  Wow, 2 months is a long time. I just checked your photos, you have had a lot going on since October!

October
October was a busy month. The weather was still nice so we spent a few afternoons chilling with Otto and Allison outside. You guys are starting to actually play together, or at least grab in the general direction of the other person. You are not great at sharing and like to take and hide all of the toys. Otto is okay with it.
We have definately mastered sitting and are growing out of some of the cutest clothes ever, like the outfit from Aunt Lisa

For a few weeks, before you would cry, you would make the "sad face" and we knew if we didn't do something you would make the "super sad face" and cry. Well, now you have mastered the sad face on demand and it is the cutest thing ever. Plus I can get a picture since I am not just trying to calm you down.

SO CUTE!

A few months back, dad bought you this car. You don't really like it, but it is still super cute. You were driving around. Here is my commentary:

Cruisin' along in my automobile, check the mirror before we start

 Turn on the car

 Gotta stop and get a drink

 Yeap, this is the life

Yes, I am a dork. But you are SO CUTE!

I think your eyes are going to be brown, maybe hazel eventually, but right now they are still gray, so I take lots of pictures of them. Look at how big you are getting.

Since it was October, we went to the pumpkin patch--twice. Once with Jill, Sean and the girls and once with Allison, Ben and Otto. You slept the second time and did not appreciate being woken up to look at damn pumpkins.



Dad's truck with lots of pumpkins

 Otto looking cute as ever

 You and Otto "playing"

 Not a happy baby

 You woke me up for this?

 

Wow--are we still in October? Yes, yes we are.
I took you out to do a photoshoot in the leaves--You liked eating them.
