6 Months Old!

Our little guys is half a year already!
Stats from our appointment this morning...
Weight: 18lbs 2oz 63%
Height:  26.8 inches 57%
Head: 18.15" 99 %

He is growing so fast. We all think he is huge, but apparently there are a lot more big baby boys out there (according to his percentages!). He definitely wins the best sleeper award. He is taking 3 naps of about an hour or sometimes more and sleeps at night about 10-11 hours! The night sleep varies some depending on illness or teething. He was up a lot recently when we had a cold but went right back to his old habits once he was feeling better! He still naps in the swing due to too many other changes going on. He was sick, then dropped his fourth nap and is now very near cutting his first tooth along with shots today! When things settle down I hope to get him to nap in his bed but am honestly dreading that transition! He really is the perfect baby except for bedtime (he has to have some flaw, right?). He still gets wiggly when tired, and especially so at bedtime (which is why I still swaddle him!). So instead of just nursing and conking out as I remember the others doing, he nurses and wiggles and nurses and wiggles while I rock and pat him until he finally relaxes. Crazy guy! ;)

A serious face...which we see more of as this first tooth gets near
 And his usual big happy open-mouth smile
Such a great gift and joy, our Sebastian!
