Brychan had his 6 month check up this week...he grew a TON the last month and a half!
Length: 27 1/2" (80th percentile)
Weight: 19.25lbs (85th percentile)
Head cir: 43.6cm (55th percentile)
He did great with the shots this go around. Not sure what the deal was last time. He is now sitting up by himself without any problems, rolls all over the place (he can get across the room in the blink of an eye) and the little stinker is already pulling himself up on things to stand up. He is oh so close to crawling; in fact, he took 3 little "steps" on his hands and knees the other day. Most of the time he leap frogs it - gets on all fours and just kicks off with his feet. And surprisingly enough, he doesn't seem to mind landing flat on his face. Although he's not doing any signs yet, he definitely understands them. If you sign "milk" to him, he opens his mouth like a little bird waiting for food to be dropped in...the same face he makes when he sees a bottle (his OR Tysha's; he's not picky). And his two bottom teeth are about to make their appearance. He's chewing on everything, including the legs of our chairs, his bouncy seat and anything else he can get his lips wrapped around. I can't believe how big he's getting! How can that make one so happy and so incredibly sad at the same time?!?

How did he escape the freakishly large Stander head gene? I love that top picture. Seriously, when can I take pictures? I am available next Sunday, but I'm not sure what other day off I will have this week.
Maybe he did get some of his mother's traits after all!!! We were planning on coming down next Sunday for photos of Brychan and our family if that's still okay. We definitely need to have them done!
Oh he is soooo cute. I can't believe he's 6 months already. I agree it's happy and sad at the same time.
Watching your kids grow and learn new things is an incrediablly rewarding thing, you just wish they did not hit the milestones so fast. It is so hard for me to believe that my baby is five and I have three children in school now. Just treasure every minute you get with him, they do grow in the blink of an eye.
