Caedon is 6 months old!

Well, he's been 6 months old for almost 2 weeks so this post is a bit late.  :)  At his 6 month check-up he weighed 17 1/2 lbs and was 27 inches long!  He's growing up way too fast!  When I took him in for his check-up, he'd had a fever the week before and still had some runny nose and congestion.  The doctor said it looked like he had an ear infection that was clearing up on its own AND that his lungs sounded like he'd had RSV!  So scary!  But I'm glad my little man was strong and healthy enough to get better on his own.  Although, that ear infection decided to get bad again this week and he's on antibiotics.  :(

He's eating...well...ALOT.  He's quite the little piggy!  He still drinks bottles 4 times a day and he's eating rice and oatmeal cereal, and has tried all of the basic baby foods.  He has also started eating Gerber Puffs.  He loves them but he can't pick them up on his own yet so I have to sit and put them in his mouth one at a time...and listen to him yell at me if I don't do it fast enough!

He's working on sitting up on his own.  He can do it for 3 or 4 minutes but if he gets too excited, he'll kick his feet and knock himself right over.  He also really wants to crawl.  He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth.  He's started inchworming his way to what he wants.  He'll get on his hands and knees and push himself forward onto his tummy and then get back up on his knees and do it over again, until he gets within arms reach of what he wants. 

He's quite a little flirt.  When we're out and about, he'll sit and stare at a little girl or a women until she looks at him.  And then he'll grin really big and start bouncing up and down.  What a ham!

Now time for pictures!

This hand is Caedon's favorite toy at at the moment.  He got it for Christmas and he LOVES to chew on it.  It shouldn't come as a surprise since he loves his own fingers, too....

He's started giving lovely slobbery kisses.  My favorite is when he grabs my face with both hands and leans towards me with his mouth wide open ready for a kiss.  It's adorable!  And wet.

Aunt Kate gets kisses, too!

Now that he can roll over both directions, you never know how you'll find him sleeping!

See?  Goofy boy.

We got the jumperoo back from Aunt Kate this month and Caedon LOVES it!

Caedon has taken to holding onto his feet.  All the time.  During diaper changes, while getting dressed, during playtime.  And while he's eating.  What a silly baby!

He's a happy boy!

There he goes with those feet again!
