six months old

Here is Colby at 6 months old

He loves to chew on his hands... if he can't get anything else!

 He loves to play with his toes.

 He has even mastered getting them in his mouth!

At Colby's six month check, he was about as perfect as can be.  He weighed 19 pounds 4 1/2 ounces,  (he was an ounce shy of gaining 1pound in 2 weeks!) He was 27 5/8 inches long (or so).  His ear infection was not gone.  In fact, the doctor said she thought it looked worse!  He got new medicine.  Hopefully this will take care of it.  Other than the ear infection, everything else was right on target.  At 6 months, Colby is so much fun.  He loves to play with his toys, putting everything within reach into his mouth.  He loves to pull hair and grab at faces.  He has a great nature and an infectious smile and laugh.  He is eating his food like a trouper and doesn't mind trying new things.  He loves to watch his big sister and laugh at her.  He does really well sitting up by himself.  He still falls over some, but it's getting much better.  He is also moving around quite a bit when laying on the floor.  One of his favorite things to do is to jump in his jumper.  He could do that for hours!  He is a great baby.  We are blessed.
