Michael turns 6 months old today. I can hardly believe that half of a year has gone by. He has already begun to show so many signs of his true personality. He and Mckaley are so different, yet so the same. They both have a very pleasant disposition and love to smile and laugh. I know I've said this before, but no one can make Michael laugh the way Mckaley can. It is SO cute. Event though they are both happy babies, they are also very different. Mckaley is my spirited child with a very high energy. Michael on the other hand is really really laid back. I think he has more of my personality than Tyler's. He just pretty much goes with the flow, but he also still lets us know when he doesn't like something. He usually only fusses if he is hungry, tired, or bored. He makes life very easy for his momma :) We all just love having him around and I can not wait to see how he continues to develop and grow as the months and years go on. Happy 6 month birthday Mikey!Stats
Age: 6 months, 0 weeks
Weight: 16.9lbs (he dropped from the 72% to the 39% so I need to take him back in for a weight check, although I'm pretty sure he will just stay a skinny boy like his dad from here on out)
Height: 27.5 inches (85%-they said he didn't grow at all from a month ago-weird)
Head Circ: 17 inches (36%)
Sleep patterns: He slept a few times through the night, but then we took a long trip to Ca which pretty much messed him us. I've been up anywhere from 1-3 times a night-agh. I know he can do it, I just feel so bad having him cry it out in a unfamiliar crib or if we are in a hotel.
Feeding: Michael has had really bad allergies so we haven't been able to feed him any food up until this point. The doctor finally gave us the okay to try baby food. We are skipping the cereals and giving him fruits and veggies first. I'll post some pics of his first bites of food on a later post.
Play: He loves to play with things that make noise, shake, or rattle. He also now rolls over onto his belly which is fun to watch. He can also sit for a second or two without falling, but not very long.
Here are some pics of Mikey on his 6 month birthday.
