6 Month Stats

I can’t believe how fast the past 6 months have gone by, or how much a baby can grow in such a short period of time – 6.5 inches in 6 months… OUCH! Talk about growing pains.

Austin continues to be a happy and content baby. He has instantly become more curious and active. His personality and interests seemed to change over night once he hit 6 months. He realizes that he can lean and reach for whatever he wants – no matter how far away or high up in the air he may be. He sits up well, but still topples over here and there. Recently he has lost interest in stuffed animals and only likes things that are relatively hard (probably because they feel better on his teething gums).

I say this at each age and stage, but we are having a lot of fun with Austin at this age! He is so interactive and smiles all the time. Jeff always tickles Austin who has quickly learned how to grab hair, ears, skin, and eyebrows to fight back. We are in a constant rotation of playing on the floor, reading books, swinging, and jumping in his Jumperoo. As long as he is awake he loves to be entertained, but gets bored of one thing quickly. We can’t wait to see how he does in the water when we start going to the pool once it warms up!
