6 Months

Wow, that happened fast!
*Weight - 16 lbs 9 oz (32%ile)
*Length - 27 inches (71%ile)
*Noggin - 17.3" (57%ile)

Here are some side-by-side comparisons.

Miles,
My how you've grown. I distinctly remember how tiny and fragile you felt the first time I held you. Now you barely fit in my arms. It has been so fun watching you grow and learn new things. I can't believe all that you have learned in the past six months and I can't wait to see all that you'll do in the months to come. I love you so much sweet boy and I am thankful every day that our Heavenly Father trusted me enough to be your mother.
xoxo, Mom

Developmental notes...
1. Can use his tongue well enough to move food around in his mouth.
2. Loves to eat and will eat almost anything introduced to him.
3. Can roll over from his back to belly.
4. Can roll over from belly to back.
5. Is very close to sitting up by on his own.
6. Now makes adadada noises (especially when he cries).
7. Pretty sure he's getting a bottom tooth.
8. Found his toes, they are now one of his favorite toys.
9. Started drinking small amounts from a cup, he even swallows some of it, but most of it ends up on his shirt.
10. Decided that he's a big boy and only needs two naps (yes, I miss the third very much).
11. Drools like crazy.
12. Talks up a storm.
13. Sucks on his hands all day ever day.
14. Loves to pull hair.
15. Super stubborn, and he uses this to get his way most of the time.
