6 months old!

Where oh where oh where has the time gone?! I can't believe this tiny little man is half of a year old already. It seems like he just got here, but at the same time it feels like we never had a life without him. He has such a sweet spirit and brightens up our days (and tries to extend that in to the night...) 

At his doctor's appointment after weighing in at 18 lbs 11 oz (72nd percentile) this little chunky man was all smiles. He is 26.75'' (54th percentile) and has a big old head in the 80th percentile. 

Post-shots. Not so many smiles anymore, but I sure got some good snuggles. It's the only upside when your kids are sick is that you get get some serious snuggle time. Last time he got shots he was miserable and got a fever and cried and really had a hard time so I was prepared for it again this time. However, he was a real trooper and was only down for the morning and after a couple of good naps he was right as rain and all smiles again.

Little bandaid chunky thighs.

After a good nap he seemed a little bit better.

That night we felt really bad about taking him to the doctor and not being able to go get him an ice cream treat or something, so we went to K-mart and got him some new snuggly jammies and some plastic key toys to chew on. I seriously want some of those pajamas, they are the softest ever!

6 month pictures. It is getting harder to take pictures of him, he is so busy! 

I'm Denver and I'm 6 months old! I love the theme song to Gilmore Girls. (explanatory story a bit further down) I love to put EVERYTHING in my mouth and I'm quick too. If the parental units look away for a second I can grab things and have it in my mouth before they know it! I still don't like riding in the car, but if you sing to me while you buckle me in I will try to cooperate. I like riding in the grocery cart at the store and looking at everything. I love soft things and giggle and smile when Momma lets me touch them. I LOVE when Daddy comes home and we play and tickle. I am slowly trying to sleep longer in my bed and have done pretty good the last few nights only making Momma get up once or twice. I'm a curious little guy and love to explore my world!

Now, pictures.

Story of our life lately. I don't know how we will ever keep track of his socks...this same sock appeared today (3 days later) at Erik's work, outside on the ground, soaked in rain water (I searched the car for it and have no idea how it fell out there!) 

Happy man after I returned his sock.

I love this face. 

This is when I knew I needed to be done. He wrecked my photo set so I guess that means it's time to wrap it up! And he looks so innocent!

Everyone probably saw my post on Facebook, but for the grandparents who may not have seen it, this is the Gilmore Girls face. I have been watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix especially when I sit down to nurse Denver. So there is always part of the episode that plays and then they do the theme song and it never fails, every single time it comes on he stops eating and cranes his neck towards the TV to watch and listen to the song.

 Another night we went and got food and he fell asleep in his car seat on the way home. We just let him keep sleeping and brought him in the house, sat on the couch, and decided to watch an episode of Gilmore Girls while eating our dinner. We start watching, we talk, we bang things around, and he doesn't budge out of his deep sleep. The song comes on and BAM! His eyes jerk open and he cranes his neck to the TV. He cracks me up.

I LOVE CARROTS! OK, he's yawning, but it looks like an incredibly excited face as well.
