Sweet Baby Boy is 6 months!

Half a year already?! Sweet baby boy is still as happy as ever - always, always smiling. He has such a sweet disposition about him. Maddox is ticklish from his cheeks all the way down to the bottom of his feet. He had his 6 mo appt last week and here are the stats: 26 3/4" for height (51 percentile) and 17lbs (31 percentile).


So happy to have the baby bathtub back. He loves bath time and can soak anything and anyone near him. Maddox still loves us singing The Itsy Bitsy Spider and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to him. We are finally getting into a regular rhythm of reading again and he loves books. Lucky for him we have our own little library.

Here Maddox is pushing all the way up on his arms but he has since progressed to getting on his knees. He will spend time on his knees rocking back and forth before doing a belly flop back to the ground. We are on borrowed time with the crawling.
He is pretty good at sitting up now without the support of the boppy. He is still taking some spills but has yet to cry from one. Normally he'll just land on his tummy.


We started on solid foods over the weekend and this is his first taste of sweet potatoes. No silly faces here! He lapped up that stuff like crazy. We'll try a fruit today. He is still doing really good with rice cereal. We tried oatmeal but that didn't sit well with him so back to the rice.


Maddox rolls wherever he needs to go for now and that typically means right for Macen's toys. So Macen has taken to doing what any older brother would do - drag him away.

We love you sweet baby boy!
