Six months old!

Technically, he turned six months old on the 13th of May, but we just had his well check up so I thought I would post now.  

He is 18 lbs., 4 oz, and he's 27" long, with a 17 1/2" circumference head.

He is such a joy!!!  He is growing up so fast.  He tries to babble some, he's definitely getting his knees up and trying to scoot himself forward.  He isn't such a fan of baby food of any kind yet, although I keep trying just so he'll get used to it.  His schedule as of now goes something like this ... (with exceptions of course!)

8:30am -- wakes up and nurses.
9:00am - 10:00am -- we play around the house.
10:00am -- I feed him again before we go to the park.
10:00am - 11:30am -- we walk to the park, and he rides in my Beco carrier while I push Lucy in the stroller.  He usually falls asleep on the way to the park and stays asleep most of the time we're there. 
12:00pm -- He is awake but I usually keep him in the Beco until I get Lucy settled with lunch.
12:15pm -- He nurses again.
1:30 or 2:00pm -- He goes down for his nap.
5:00pm -- he wakes up from his nap.  (Yes, he regularly takes 2-4 hour naps in the afternoon.  I cannot even tell you how much that means to me, especially since Lucy was like a 45-minute max napper for at least a year and half.)
5:00pm -- he nurses.
5:30pm - 8:00pm -- He plays with his daddy or gets held or is in the exersaucer until bedtime, when I feed him and put him down.  He usually sleeps until about 4:00 or 5:00am, when he wakes up.  I nurse him, and change his diaper, and he goes back to sleep until about 8 or 8:30am.


He is so precious.  He brings such joy to my heart.  I love having him as my son!

Here's some pictures of him (and Lucy)!
