Productive Day

This little cutey is 6 months old...almost 7! As Jason said, "He was just born. Seriously." We're not sure where the time went and we're a little sad. This is how he looked this morning when I had to wake him up at 9 to go to his checkup. He is cuteness wrapped in sweetness and covered in a layer of adorableness. I know I gush excessively about him. I can't help it. Spend 5 minutes with him and you'll understand. Or maybe not...I admit to an extreme bias where my kids are concerned. He can roll from his back to his stomach but hasn't figured out yet how to get to his back again. This makes him very mad, especially when he wakes up and finds himself on his stomach. He's getting a little more used to it. He's been on solids for a few months now and loves food. The other thing that makes him very mad...when you put his bib on him and don't stick a spoonful of food in his mouth stat. Or when he's determined to eat paper and we take it away. His little temper tantrums make me laugh (for now at least!). He got his first two teeth (the two on the bottom) last weekend. He's in the 98th percentile for height and 90th for weight. According to his pediatrician, he's the weight of the average 9-month-old, the height of the average 11-month-old, and has the head circumference of the average 15-month-old. We just adore him. No one can make him belly laugh like Ethan can, and it's so cute to watch them together. Besides Colin's check-up, the other big event of the day was that we bought a house! We are so, so excited to have settled on something and have this house-hunting process over with. We are never moving again. Ever. As you can see, it's under construction. It should be done (fingers crossed) end of May or first of June. It's bigger than we need, but it was the only one that felt right. If I could move it just 20 or 30 minutes closer to my family it would be my dream house, but nothing closer to them worked out with Jason's commute, so we think we made the right choice. Wish us luck!
