6 Months

Camden is 6 months old now. Crazy! He had his checkup today and he is getting BIG! Here are his stats:

Weight: 17lbs. 12.8oz.    55%
Height: 26 1/2 in.    52%
Head:  44 cm     56%

He is very proportional. And has grown a TON since he was 4 months old. He went from being in the 25%, to the 55% for both weight and height. The Dr. was very impressed. What can I say...this boy likes to eat.

Camden,
Some things that you enjoy doing at this age are: bouncing in your johnny jump up...you love it and can't get enough of it. You have a routine of eating, playing a little bit and then you get to bounce, if this doesn't happen, then you are not very happy and you whine and complain. It makes it difficult to go anywhere. You enjoy playing on the floor and are starting to become quite the roller. You always roll onto your stomach, which you hate, and then you scream at us until we come and roll you back over. This goes on and on until you have had enough. (Usually about 10 min. max). The past few days you have been starting to roll yourself back over which has been so nice! You stay much happier when you do this. You have also been waking up at night because you find yourself on your stomach. It has not been much fun and I have started to let you cry it out. You have done much better the past few nights.

You love to play with toys and you stick everything in your mouth. Including your toes...which I love and think is sooo adorable. You play with your feet and talk to them as though they are toys. It is so cute!
You are very ticklish and this is the only time you laugh, but your laugh is so very cute and I can't help but laugh every time I hear it.

You HATE to sit up. Every time I try and feed you in your bumbo, you automatically arch your back and try and get out. As a result, you aren't very good at eating baby food. We are really trying, but you just hate to sit. We need to figure something else out because you need to start to eat more.

 For nap time you still have to be wrapped up. You just don't sleep very well or long it you aren't. We have tried to get you out of it, but after 2 weeks of not good napping, I gave up and we are back to wrapping you. By the time you wake up though, you are completely out of the wrap and are eating your hands and kicking your feet around. You are like Houdini, I don't know how you get out of that thing every.single.time.   

Your sisters just adore you and can't get enough of you. They are worried though for when you start to crawl. They talk about it all of the time. They are so worried about their toys and you getting into them. Macie is getting pretty good at keeping you happy and she loves it when you look at her and smile. She has even gotten you to laugh a couple of times and is convinced that you love her the most. You are such a joy in our lives and we all love you to pieces and can't imagine life without you.
