6 months...

How is it possibly possible that my baby is 6 months old already?!?! This is just flying by way too fast for me. I remember when Brayden was this age, I was SO EXCITED to see what would come next, what he would learn next. With my other 2 kids, it makes me a little sad, because now I know how fast it happens. Landon is already half way to his first birthday!


Some things about Landon at 6 months:
~he weighs 16 lbs. 4 oz. (25%)
~he is 26 3/4 inches long (50% At 4 months he was 26 inches which was the 90% I'm thinking that wasn't so accurate! I'm pretty sure he's grown more then 3/4 of and inch in the last 2 months)
~still no teeth (but they are very close to popping through) His brothers both had their first 2 teeth at 4 months... I guess Landon likes to take his time with things!
~he loves all the foods he's tried so far, and if you don't shovel it in fast enough, he'll let you know it
~he kicks his little chubby legs so fast when he's really happy, excited, or mad!
~no one can make him laugh as hard as his 2 big brothers, he thinks they are hilarious!
(here he is laughing at Conner instead of looking at me and the camera)

~he is becoming a very loud child, he has recently discovered how to make his voice very loud!
~his hair always sticks up a little. Maybe he is taking after his Grandpa Shumate! :)
(notice the hair similarities???)

~he can roll over
~he likes to roll under the couch, but then gets super mad once he gets stuck
~some of his toys get him pretty happy and excited!
~when he is tired, he snuggles his cute little face into my neck
~he likes to put everything into his mouth
~he prefers to stand on my lap, not sit on it.
~he gets super happy when he sees his Daddy
~since he has learned to roll over, he doesn't care as much if he sleeps on his side or not, but many times when I go to check on him, he is on his side
~he loves to "talk" to us
~he LOVES it when I sing "I love Landon yes sir-eeeeeeee!!!! He loves us and so you see, we are a happy family!" he laughs and smiles so big every time! (I have sung this to all my kids, and I still do, they still all love it. We will go through everyone in the family, even Maggie, the cat!) example:

~he is still quite a Momma's boy, if I'm too far away, he doesn't like it so much
~he is a DANG cute little boy! (not that I'm biased or anything!) :)
~he makes me smile everyday!
