6 Months...Half Way to a Year

Today Kyan is 6 months old. Half way to one year. It is an almost impossible fact to believe. How fast this time has gone. As I always say though, I truly have enjoyed every single moment. He is such an amazing baby. Happy and full of joy are two very easy ways to describe him. He has gone through a major change this month with me returning to work and has taken it so well (mom has not though!). Right now seems like such a huge period of change for him. Every day feels like he is older. By all means he is still a baby, but each day he seems to gain new skills which somehow make him seem older. I can't stand it. At the same time, I do love watching him learn and grow. I just wish sometimes I could freeze time so that I could sit back, take a breath, and enjoy the period he is in at this moment. Rather than fly through it, with a whirl of craziness surrounding us! Unfortunately I cannot do that...good thing we have this blog to document it then! :)

Here is what Kyan is up to at 6 months:

* You love life! Happiness, smiles, loves, and joy encompass your every day!
* You are a great sleeper. You still sleep 11 hrs at night, take 2-2hr naps, and 1-1hr nap.
* You have grown a passion for baby food, although I find it really difficult to get you to eat any green veggies! We'll keep trying! You get REALLY excited when you see food coming. :)
* Your acid reflux has continued to not improve, and we have had to put you on some medicine. More on how it is going next month.
* You are starting to sit up unsupported pretty well...still a little wobbly though. :)
* You still roll over both ways, but typically you will only go both ways while in bed. It is really weird because you absolutely can go both ways, but unless you are in bed, you roll to your belly and then stay there. Today though you starting rolling both ways like crazy while playing on the floor, so maybe that will change.
* Toys have become so much more fun to you lately. You play all the time. You especially love your two activity centers.
* Mckinley continues to be one of your absolute FAVORITE people. Your relationship is so sweet.
* You went swimming in a pool for the first time this month---you seemed to like it, but were pretty calm about it. I'm sure you will end up being a fish like your sis though.
*Updated from doctor appointment: you weigh 18 lbs 12.5 oz and you are 27.5 inches long! (80% in both)
* You are just an absolute joy in our lives. You love to cuddle, laugh, and play and I cherish every single moment I have with you. I love you to pieces!

It actually kind of looks like he was modeling for me in the last few, but he was just rolling around on his chair! :) Such a ham!
