Callen: 6 months

Wow! 6 months have flown by.  Here's our little guy's growth month by month:

Happy half-birthday little man!!!

Oh this boy is such a joy- we all just absolutely adore him!  

It is so fun to see his fun personality emerge.

Callen's stats:

Height: 27 inches

Weight: 17 lbs 2 oz. 

 (officially our chunkiest baby- we LOVE those rolls!!!)

Takes 3 naps/day. Each 1-2 hours long

Sleeps 12ish hours straight through the night. (awesome!)

Solely breastfeeding- about to start solids

Callen at 6 months:

LOVES babbling. He talks to us constantly and gives the best, hugest grins.

He's been rolling from his back to his tummy, but he hated being on his tummy. This month he started really enjoying being there and is pushing himself up with his arms. He also  wiggles around to try to get the toys he wants. So cute.

He loves jumping in the bouncer.

Met his Aunt Amanda for the first time.

He is such a cuddle bug and loves to be held and sung to.

Enjoys massage/lotion time at nights.

One of his most awesome accomplishments is going to bed ...we NEVER had to do a 'cry it out' time.  We just put him to bed around 8ish and we don't hear a peep until morning!

Is such a trooper with his bros.  He really lets them hug and love on him without getting too fussy.

Is super ticklish on his tummy, chest, & neck.

Loves snuggling with his monkey blankie to go to sleep.

He is such a happy, content baby. He really just loves being around all of us and watching the happenings!!

Dear Callen,

We love you so much, our sweet boy. You are the calm in our day and definitely a joy to all of us.  

You light up the minute you see any of us and give us the best smiles.

You laugh at your brothers and love to be around them. We got out the bouncer this month for you.. you weren't quite sure what to think at first, but now you are a pro. You love turning yourself around in it to see the different toys and bouncing as high as you can!  And oh the sound of your laugh- it is pure happiness!  If any of your brothers are grumpy, I just have to ask if they want to hold you and the grumpies melt away. They answer an enthusiastic YES and race to the couch to hold you in their arms. You hold that magic, my sweet sweet boy. You make our days brighter and better. We are so glad you are part of our family.

Love love love you, little man.

Love, 

Mommy, Daddy, & the bros.
