This guy,
is 6 months old today.
There are times when I literally, (yes mom, literally), can NOT believe it.
February seems like six months ago. February itself took about six months to pass.
But I see new babies and can already not really remember him being that tiny. That new.
And I tried to enjoy it. To relish it. To soak it in. Having a pinched nerve and not being able to walk for two weeks really helped with that. I lived in the recliner with him. Only getting up to eat and use the facilities.
But still.
They change so fast.
He is a joy to have around. Many many people comment on how he is the happiest baby that they've ever seen.
And I would have to agree.
I don't know if it's that "third child" thing. If he has inherited his dad's and Grandpa Eddy's laid-back-ness or what. But he is pretty agreeable 99% of the time.
This last month he learned to sit up. Pop up on his hands and knees and really wants to crawl. His first tooth has popped through (months earlier than either of his sisters). And he eats rice cereal and oatmeal. We will start trying other solids since we are headed into the beautiful harvest season.
His stats on 8/30/13
Height: 26.5 inches - 50%
Weight: 16 lbs. 1 oz. - 25%
Both girls LOVE him so much. I think that Mae might love him a bit more. She has named him "LeeLee" and pretty much only refers to him that way. It is starting to stick. Bob is afraid that he is never going to know his name is Russell.
We are settling into a new routine with school starting and there are many exciting adventures ahead.
