6 Months Old

I always thought that time went by fast but now that I have a baby I think it goes by really really fast. Lincoln is 6 months old today. He is changing so much every day. He had a Dr appt today and he weighed in at 16lbs 8oz 40th percentile, he is 26 1/2 inches long 50th percentile and his head was 17 1/4 inches which is in the 50% percentile. The Dr said that he looked great. He smiled the whole time we were there and he charmed all of the ladies in the office. He had to have one immunization and then he got the flu shot. He got a shot in each leg. Yuck. He screamed but as soon as they were done he was fine. He is eating solid foods now. So far he has had yellow squash and carrots. I am making the baby food and it is really fun and easy. He is still nursing and eating cereal along with his veggies. He loves to be upside down and he laughs out loud a lot. He is a super happy and healthy baby. I am always telling him what a good baby he is and if he was older I would buy him ice cream. He is starting to get some teeth on the bottom. The Dr said that he felt bumps but it could still be several months before they arrive. He is rolling over like a champ now and he sits up pretty well on his own. He loves to stand with help. He has started sleeping on his tummy and his side which is super cute. We put him to bed on his back and then when we check on him he has moved to his side or his tummy. He is sleeping from 7pm to 7am and he takes two 2 hour naps a day. I a still loving being home with him every day. He is just so much fun and he keeps me entertained. As you can see in the pictures he was still happy even after seeing the Dr and getting two shots.

I think Keean and Lincoln would be good friends! They are both smiley and giggly and have big beautiful eyes. Keean just turned 4 months. Lincoln is sleeping much more than Keean but there is improvement happening w/ his naptime. We are heading your way next week to spend time with Jeff's family and spend time in Breckenridge with mine.
