6 Months Old!

Brody man is six months old today! Six months. Halfway to a year. HOLY COW where has the time gone? I can honestly say that I absolutely cannot imagine life without this sweet little boy as a part of it and can't believe how incredibly blessed we are with our two wonderful children. Brody is at such a fun age right now and I just love seeing him grow and develop before my very eyes.
I weighed Brody on our home baby scale today and he weighed in at 16 lbs 12 oz and I get a rough length measurement of 28 inches! We will see how accurate I am when he gets his official measurements at his six month well visit next week! Regardless he is just growing like a weed and getting to be such a big boy! He is wearing all 6 or 6-9 month clothes and seems exceptionally long to me! Its hard to even fathom that he is very close to the size that Ella was on her first birthday!
As far as milestones, Brody seems to be meeting them ahead of the curve or right on time. He has been sitting very well unassisted since 4 months and loves to sit and play with toys and watch his sister run around and act goofy. This kid has a serious love for our dog Franklin and literally every time the dog comes in his sight he breaks out in a huge grin. It is seriously too cute. He is babbling and has the cutest little belly laugh I have ever heard. Big B is such a happy baby- always ready with a smile and so ticklish that he is the easiest guy to get laughing. He is extremely strong on his belly and can get himself into a full push up with his whole torso off the ground. I don't think we are far from crawling- YIKES!
Brody is still on his Alimentum formula which he needs because of his milk protein intolerance. He has a healthy appetite- usually he takes 6 oz bottles or so for a total of about 32-35 oz a day. The past few days he has been not having much of an appetite though, only taking 20ish oz so who knows what his deal is! Sleep does not come easy to us in this house but Brody boy is doing pretty good. He can't stay up late at night and is ready for bed around 6:30-7:00 and on a good night he will sleep until 5 or 5:30 and take a quick 2 oz and go back down for a few hours. We have our bad nights too but he is getting better :)
I can't wait to see what the next six months bring! I sure love this little boy!
