Coen @ 6 months

Yesterday was Coen's half birthday! Our little man is getting bigger and bigger each day. I swear I wake up in the morning and he has a new chin, hahaha. We had our 6 month check up and Coen is 20lbs even and 27inches with a 17inch head. That puts him in the 90% for weight, 75% for height and only 45% for head size. He still looks proportional, no he is not a pin head :)


He has been sitting up by himself for awhile, but he is way more steady now and can stay up longer. He hasn't started solids yet (we stopped after that 3rd try after a scary ER visit), and his doctor was very surprised and happy considering how big he is as exclusively breast fed! Brodie and I have been enjoying playing with him more and more each day. He is totally alert (stays awake for 2.5-3hr increments) and has SUCH a personality. His napping is better and we are working on sleeping in his crib at night. The doctor felt the tip of one of his bottom teeth coming up and predicted it showing in a few weeks. He can work his knees up under him, but is still working on getting his arms up under his shoulders. We did get him on a fours for a quick bit, and we work on it every day. He is soooo strong and shakes in excitement when trying new things.


Last weekend in the mountains he surprised us all (and maybe himself he was so dang proud) by standing at the coffee table for a long time! He was bouncing while standing and smiling up a storm. Yay strong little guy!!



at the hotsprings (it was sooo bright)

and standing at the cabin! (not a good angle for his face, but he had a big ol grin) He even started to slip and he righted himself. He would be steady, then bounce and then steady again.
