6 months

I can't believe that my little Matthew is already 6 months old.  I don't know where the time has gone.  He is such a sweet little man.  He's happy and smiley except when he's hungry or tired or lonely.  His laugh makes my heart melt.  His little smile lights up the room. 

He went in this week for his 6 month well check.  Matthew is 17lbs. 4oz. which puts him in about the 48th percentile.  His head measures 17 3/4 inches around.  He is 28 3/4 inches long which is off the charts.  He's a full 1/4 of an inch above the highest percentile measurement for his age.  So he's a long, skinny thing.  He is starting to crawl.  He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks until he's ready to push himself forward.  When he gets tired of that, he just pushes himself around backwards.  He always seems to have something in his mouth and has been that way since he could grab things. 

He is just a ray of sunshine in our home.  Everyone loves him to pieces.  His big brothers probably love him a little too much.  :o)
