6 Months Old

Six months old, half of a year....

Max is still a happy and spoiled boy. 

( He is held a lot by me, but I only get to do it for a short while and it is Summer.)

Max is getting better at entertaining himself.

He sits on the floor and puts his arms in front of him on the floor, and begins rocking forward.

He doesn't crawl yet, but he is building some muscle since he weighs 20 pounds (as of August 20th).

We took him to the doctor for his shots and these were his stats:

length:  26.57 inches  70%percentile 

head circumference: 44cm  85% percentile

weight: 19.2 lbs. 88% percentile

He got a set of shots and he really had a rough few days recuperating.

Still no teeth, although we see them through the gums in the top front.

What he is up to:

talking/ yelling loudly

rolling more often

almost the army crawl, he gets his booty up and does the worm

loves putting toys in his mouth

loves playing/ watching his sister too

This past month Max got to go to Vegas for his first time.

It was a quick trip. 

He did pretty good in the car, since he really didn't sleep more than an hour.

I wish I could insert his cute voice in this picture.

Poolside at the Hard Rock Hotel.

He got to play with his bud Bronson.

A little blurry, but cute.

Have you seen Max?

He blends in with his camouflage

He has become such a big boy, not so much a baby.

Playing in his car/ walker and sitting in a high chair.

Hanging out with Dad at the computer.

He is already hooked at a young age.

He loves the water and Madeline loves that they can take baths together.

First time with rice cereal.

He didn't completely reject it, he played and ate some of it.

To compare Madeline and Max, this is Madeline at six months.

At Brandon's first annual memorial fundraiser.

Wearing a shirt that is red and has cars on it for Brandon. 

Dad put these stackable cups on him.

He didn't seem to mind.

Another Disneyland trip and

we got the silhouettes done of the kids.

He also had apple sauce for the first time there.

It was a bit tart for him.

More Bronson time.......

their faces are priceless.

I could create several captions for their expressions.

The past 6 months

                                                                     It wouldn't be complete without a picture with Madeline, even if it is with crazy hair.
