6 months

Half a year.
It's been half a year since we met our little man.
It's been half a year since I fell in love with his little wails.
It's been half a year since my son first held onto my finger.
It's been half a year since our family was completed(for now)

I'm done messing around with categorizing everything in these monthly updates, I'm just going to roll with it.

I'll start by saying we checked up on his kidney's this last month, and they are doing great. They aren't quite where they need to be, but almost!  He's also grown a ton! We found out he's 17 1/2 lbs and 27 1/4 inches long, he's doubled his birth weight and then some! This is partially because we started him on purees, and he loves them! He has taken a real liking bananas, pears with raspberries and prunes. On the other hand he hates veggies. He refuses sweet potatoes and mixed veggies, and is relatively okay with squash.

He's also figured out how to sit, and squirm across the floor. He's managed to get himself into a sitting position once by himself and the rest of the time we do it for him, he's trying hard though!  The sitting lasts a pretty long time, he's got great balance so far!

He had his first Thanksgiving, which he promptly slept through.
He had his first cold, which absolutely sucked. The stuffed up runny nose was a disaster.
He had his first full carrot, celery and bell pepper, which he loved chewing on.
He got to see his Auntie June! He loves Auntie June! He also met Auntie Abra:)
He met Santa! For a kid who has stranger danger issues, he loved Santa.
He shakes his head no. Not my favorite thing he does, but it's pretty darn cute.

There's not a whole lot more to say, as big of a milestone as 6 months is, he hit all the 6 month milestones last month.
