Collin 6 month birthday!

Well, Collin turned 6 months on Sunday. I can't believe I'm still alive :) He is so fun now when he is happy (he just got his shots yesterday and has been running a fever and not been feeling well at all last night and today.)

Collin's weight:
Birth 7lbs 2oz
4 days old 7.58 lbs
16 days old 8.42 lbs
2 months old 12.28
3 months old 14.33
4 months old 15.94
6 months old 17.84


I am so happy that it seems like he's starting to level out. It was really hard carrying around a 15 pound 3 month old. He's still eats great. He's like a clock, within about 2 minutes of his feeding time's at night he wakes up. Its crazy. We've started him on solid foods and he has loved everything we've given him. We bought these little mesh bags teething toys from Target that you can put food in. He can just chew on it without getting any big pieces. He loves them.


I decided it was high time we put a picture of him and a Cabbage Patch Kid on here. I can not tell you how many times people have said that he looks just like one. Chase and I totally agree, we love his cubby little cheeks.















This is one of my favorite pictures because if you look real close, you can see his other cheek poking out beyond his mouth. So dang cute!












My last favorite thing that I wanted to write about was how soft Collin is when he touches things (most of the time). Unless he is super excited or mad about something, he never grabs or pulls. I am usually very happy to let him play with my hair becuase he just strokes it. He loves to play with it, and just feel it. He loves to touch our Christmas tree as well, and the glass balls we have that are covered with glitter. He just runs his hands over them, really soft. Even with other babies. I mean, he's still a baby and can't control his hands very well. But he just leans forward and touches their face, or their hands, and then just kinda drops his head lightly on their lap or knee. Its so funny to watch. Again, he isn't like this all the time, but he does really well.

I think thats about it! Happy 6 months Collin!! Mommy and Daddy love you!
