Casen's 6 month Update

Where has the time gone? I blinked and my baby turned 6 months! 6 months is kind of a big deal! It's the age where babies are no longer tiny. They sit up, roll over, start eating solids, and bits of their personality starts to appear. It's a milestone age, one that is so fun to document.


 I can't wait to get Casen's 6 month pictures taken in the next week or two.  He is getting so big and I has changed so much since he was a tiny newborn. So for now all that will be on the blog are some pictures I've taken.

Casen is so smiley! He smiles all day long and it's pretty much the sweetest thing you've ever seen! He is starting to laugh a lot and loves watching Lydia run around the house. He loves company and whines whenever I leave the room. Daddy is second favorite to Mommy still. Casen smiles and giggles when Brian comes home from work and picks him up. It's so sweet.

So, did I mention that Casen is now 21.5 lbs! Yeah, he is a big boy. The the first reaction I usually get from people is, "Wow look at that chunk!" He is wearing 12-18 month clothes, and I feel like I'm constantly buying him new pajamas. But having a cuddly, cubby baby is the best! I just love his cubby thighs, and big belly!

He still isn't too impressed with solids. I've tried cereal, but he hates it. I decided to try vegetables and that seems to be working a little better. He still doesn't love it, but today he ate almost a tablespoon of baby food, so I'm hoping he starts liking it.

He was sleeping awesome for like a week. He even slept for 8 hours one night. Then I don't know what happened. This past week he has been sleeping terrible!! He is never up screaming, and I've never once walked the halls, but he wants to eat constantly, and be held! I'm crossing my fingers that tonight will be better.

He rolls over from back to front and front to back, sits on his own, staring solids, and grabs everything he can! He loves toys and growls the whole time he is playing with something. He is just getting so big and I'm kinda sad about it! With Lydia I was excited for each stage, but with him it's just going by way fast and I want to savor every minute!

Lydia of course wanted her picture taken too. I can say that I have a whole new respect for photographers. This was seriously the best picture I could get. Lydia would not look at me and smile, and she wiggled all over! I don't have the patience for photography so kudos to all of you who do!

Here's another one :)

Another failed attempt....

Another one.....

And my favorite one :)

Well, we love our Casen boy so much! He is the Best Baby Ever! I don't know what we ever did without this sweet little guy. 

I'll be updating the blog again shortly with his official 6 month pictures once me and Kami have a spare minute to get them done. :)
