6 months

Shad turned 6 months old today! At 6 months:

-He is teething like crazy, but those stubborn teeth are lingering right below the surface, tormenting us both.

(He loves to chew on this frozen fish.)

- He rolls around the floor like a maniac, moving 4-5 feet in a matter of seconds (diaper changing has gotten a lot harder these days)

- He sits up very well on his own without support for minutes at a time if he has a toy to play with

- He loves to jump in this Tigger jumper. Sometimes he hangs out in it and watches me exercise.

- Most of the time (when he isn't extra painful from teething or sick, which has been frequent lately) he sleeps the entire night for 10-12 hours straight, which has been wonderful for Jared and myself.

- He loves to play with his daddy. He giggles and squeals like crazy!

(This is one of the funniest noises I have ever heard him make)

-He generally eats four 6-7 oz bottles (again, lately not that much because of teething), and one solid food (fruit or veggie) per day

-He is very social, and loves being around other people. Even when he is super ornery, if I take him somewhere with other people, he is happy and smiling. (drives me nuts sometimes because no one believes me that he gets cranky very often!)

- He is so handsome and gets compliments on how genuinely adorable he is (He even won the "Cutest Baby Contest"  he was entered in by a friend who took his pictures!)

- He is very loved in our family and we can't imagine our lives without him!
