Once again this post is belated, but Kellan turned 6 months old on the 17th! It's hard to imagine he's 1/2 a year old already--I'm trying to enjoy these baby days before they're all gone! Here are just a few highlights of Kellan at 6 months:
-He is a people person--he likes to be around people and is easily entertained by just about anyone, especially his big sister.
-He is learning to like food. So far he has tried sweet peas, carrots, applesauce, and bananas...bananas are definitely the favorite thus far!
-He finally rolled over (once, accidentally) in his crib during his nap 2 days ago. He started screaming, so it seemed to be something he didn't enjoy too much!
-His favorite activites are jumping in the Jumperoo (strengthening up those leg muscles for soccer) and hanging out in the swing (which he is quickly outgrowing due to his weight!).
-He likes to sit up and can do pretty well sitting up on his own (as long as there is a spotter nearby or a soft landing!).
-He weighs 18 lbs, 8 oz. and is 26 inches long.
-He drools A LOT (can soak a bib in minutes) but still has no signs of any teeth.
-He loves to make tidal waves in the bath tub by kicking his feet.
Unfortunately Kellan is sick with a cold--runny nose, a little cough, the whole bit...actually Alex is sick too (she has more of a cough and a runny nose), and even the dog spent the day getting sick all around my living room (Possibly because her daddy fed her half a piece of herb and garlic chicken the night before?). So this will probably be a long week for our family! My parents were here this weekend and Marlon had 2 soccer games, so it was great to have some help with the kiddies for a few days!
Here are pics of the kids at the soccer game this afternoon--Kellan hanging out in the stroller, and my dear little girl wearing her cowboy hat, orange shades, WVU outfit, and you can't see the hot pink Crocs--eating a bag of popcorn--the highlight of soccer games for her. Now I understand why parents let their kids wear those goofy non-matching outfits...because they just look cute and it makes them happy.
