Six month checkup

Brigham weighs 16 pounds 3 ounces and is 26 inches long. He is in the 18th percentile in weight, 23rd percentile in height, and 37th percentile in his head circumference. He has a huge head. He is becoming a big boy. He has gained a lot of weight since his 3 pounds 10 ounces six months ago. 

He got his shots, cried for about a minute and then he was fine. He is a tough boy.
Also, today I noticed he has a little tooth starting to come through on the bottom. That is probably the reason that he whines so much right now. It can be quite frustrating when he just sits and whines. 

I probably need to start feeding him solids consistently every day, but I don't know the best way to go about this because he makes such a mess and I don't think very much ends up in his stomach. If any one has any ideas please help me out. 

Another big accomplishment is that Brigham consistently sleeps through the night, it is awesome. He goes to bed at six and then wakes up at about 6:30 and plays and talks to himself for a while. He loves to scoot around his bed. The other day he was supposed to be taking a nap and started screaming and I went up and he was crammed into the corner on his stomach. It is really funny to watch him.

Brigham is starting to learn to sit up, he can do it for a few seconds if he leans forward and touches his toes. He is also rolling from his stomach to his back, although I don't think he likes to do that. He is trying to figure out how to roll from his back to his stomach but his arm usually gets in the way. 

Brigham loves to put EVERYTHING in his mouth and he has just discovered that he likes to put his feet in his mouth, it is so funny.

Jason and I are so blessed to have such a healthy and happy baby.

Easter

Finally, it took me a little too long to get these pictures up. This is what the Easter bunny brought Brigham, which means us.
