6 months!

Brian turned 6 months old on the 22nd of January. At his appointment he weighed 17lbs 15.5oz, which is the 50-75th%, height was 25 1/2 inches, which is the 20th%, and his head is 43.6 cm, which is the 50th%. He is now off of his special premie formula (which we called his "miracle grow") because he has caught up to his age group now, as you can see from his weight- he is getting so big! He is getting a lot better with sitting on his own and is able to balance himself if he leans to far to one side or the other, but will still fall backwards sometimes when he gets distracted. We are getting excited about our trip to Disneyland in a little over 2 weeks!! Any tips on travelling with a baby will be appreciated. :o)

January

Just some random pictures from the month. I realized I wasn't taking that many pictures, so I'm trying to remember to bring out the camera more. Brian turned 6 months old yesterday. Today for some reason he just seems bigger and older than he did before. We got an exersaucer from my sister-in-law yesterday and he loves being able to sit up and look around and is learning that he can play with the toys on it. I'll have to take pictures of him in it soon. I don't know who all actually looks at this blog, but if you do, I've done a few posts the past couple of days, so be sure to scroll down.

Sitting up (sorta)

Brian has been working on sitting up recently. Last Sunday Ben and I were playing with him on the floor and we discovered he was a lot better at sitting than we thought he was. He still leans pretty far forward, but he's working on balancing himself. He's doing pretty good!

May the Force be With You

Ben picked out this shirt for Brian the day we found out we were having a boy. It's a 12 month size, but I tried it on him today and it works! It's a little big around the neck, but oh well, it still looks cute. I could not get him to smile for the camera, though! Everytime the camera or video camera comes out, he just stares at it with this stone face. Trust me, he is a happy baby! He just doesn't like to perform. :o)

Rice cereal

We gave Brian some rice cereal for the first time the other day. He wasn't quite sure about it, as you can see from the pictures. But, after awhile, he got the hang of it and didn't spit it out as much. Those are the cute Batman jammies Ben's parents got for him- they are size 12 month! He is growing so much!

Happy Boy

Just some cute pictures of Brian lately. He is so much fun! It's great watching him learn and develop. Curious George was one of Ben's favorite toys as a kid, and we saw that little Curious George at the store the other day and got it for Brian and he seems to like it. :o)
