6 Months

My precious Bleu Jack turned 6 months old 4 days ago on Wednesday.  SIX months.  That's half a year for the math challenged like myself.  I don't even know how it's possible.  A stranger at a restaurant today was peeking in at him asleep in his stroller and said to me, "You sure don't look like you just had a baby."  I smiled and said thank you, but what I was thinking was, "I didn't just have a baby!"  He is growing so fast and learning so much lately.  He grabs for EVERYTHING and certainly recognizes all of us.  He was squealing as loud as he could when Sage and Jaggar were playing in their pool yesterday.  It was so cute because I could tell he was wanting to join them.  And sooner than we all think, he will join them.  At six months, he is trying solids but not liking them at all, as I mentioned.  And some days, he doesn't even try them because I don't feel like wasting the food.  He can roll over like a pro both ways.  He loves to get his feet in his mouth, and based on certain times I've had my finger in his mouth, I imagine he could cause some pain to himself.  No teeth yet, but I think he could gum a steak.  He is STRONG.  He always has been, and if I lay him on his back, he'll keep his shoulders up off the ground like he's trying to sit up.  Sometimes he locks his legs when we try to put him in his car seat like, "Nope, I'm not going in there."  And we can't get him in like that! lol   He hasn't had his six month check up yet, so I don't have an exact weight, but I'm still betting he's my biggest baby out of the 3.  I KNOW he's bigger than Sage.  He's almost as big as she is now because she can barely hold him.  He is such a fun, sweet baby.  His demeanor is sweet, and everyone says that about him.  He still smiles and quickly turns away like a flirt.  I love him so much.

Who couldn't melt at that smile?  Oh, he's also pretty Mommy addicted.  He can be screaming with Travis, and he'll bring him to where I'm at and the moment he sees me, he laughs...and then screams and hyperventilates if I don't take him.  :)

He hadn't been awake long here, and I think it shows.  Trying to get some 6 month pictures.

 In his bed:  a place he NEVER is.  That won't last much longer.  My run on no sleep is running out.

 I was trying to get a picture of him rolling over, so of course he wouldn't really do it.

 Precious boy

 Nothing is safe in his reach anymore.

 Happy 1/2 birthday to my angel.  Also, on the evening of his birthday, I was changing him.  I started doing some stupid laugh, and he laughed harder than he ever has in his life.  I'm talking he was SCREAMING he was laughing so hard.  It was so funny that I could barely breathe because I was laughing so hard, too.  I called Travis in there, and he got a kick out of it, too.  He went and got the ipad to record, but he didn't laugh as hard as he was once we recorded, of course.  Here is a little bit of it, but I'm sad we couldn't get the screaming laughter.
