Well, my blogging has really sucked this month. I'll skip the excuses and just get to it...
Leyton turned 6 months old this month! I say this every month but seriously, WHERE does the time go? It is so unfair how quickly these sweet baby days pass by. He is looking so much more like a big boy and less and less like my precious baby. I keep a stack of photos taken in his first month on my nightstand that I thumb through a few times a week. Those early days were so sweet...

But now...

Ok he's still sweet.
Leyton at 6 months:
- 23.5 lbs
- 30 inches long
- Wears size 12-18 months in clothes
- 99 percentile in height and weight
- Still breastfed
- Eats rice or oatmeal cereal
- Has tried carrots, apples, peas, pears, and bananas
- Likes carrots, apples, and bananas
- Sits up without support (since before Christmas)
- Loves the dogs (especially Dixie) and reaches out to pet them
- Has pulled himself up from sitting to standing twice
- Loves to play "rough" with Dad (riding on his shoulders, swinging around, hanging upside down)
This week he has really been making an effort to crawl and I think in another week or two he'll be on the move! We might have to invest in a second Pack 'N Play to keep upstairs! Even though I miss those early baby days, the stage he is in now is really fun. He definitely knows who his Momma is and I love that! He reaches out for me and cries sometimes when I leave the room. He also gets excited when he sees me. So sweet! Here is Leyton lately...
