6 months old

As of August 8th, Beau is a six month old and weighs 15.4 pounds and is 26 1/2 inches long. He is just a little guy, at least for now! His weight puts him in the tenth percentile compared to other babies his age and he is in the fiftieth for height, so he is average. I was a little worried to hear he was only in the tenth percentile, but my doctor was not concerned at all and said he is growing just fine I am doing everything I need to be. My honest opinion is it is because he is so active he is not gaining allot of weight. We have started him on solids and he is doing pretty good with them, so I am hoping this will help fatten him up a bit!

Here are some of Beau's milestones he has reached so far...I think all that is left is walking and talking...oh my!

11 weeks old- rolling over

4 months old- gets up on hands and knees

5 months old scooting and rocking back and forth on hands and knees

5 1/2 month- starting to crawl
6 months- crawling and pulling himself to stand (on furniture, the tub, me...anything! Usually when he wakes up from his nap he is standing in his bed when we go to get him! That is all Beau wants to do is stand right now. He has not figured out how to get back down once he gets standing though so he will just stand there until someone gets him or else he just falls. )

With all these big feats being conquered in such a small little package makes me a nervous mama! The poor little guy is constantly falling or bumping his head on something because he is still not quite stable. When Isaac was a baby we didn't have this much space or things/places to get into...so it's totally different. We have stairs here and hard floors, we had to move our coffee table into the garage for now because it has so many hard edges and he was getting under it trying to stand up to it to it. I can not leave him for a second cause you never know where he may end up! There is no stopping him now! He is ready to take on the world and I think he is going to be a real go getter and will be able to do anything he sets his mind to! He is going to need lots of prayer! He loves his big brother Isaac and his whole face lights up when he sees him! You can tell he wants to be just like him and is doing a pretty good job trying keep up with him! I didn't envision them interacting this much until Beau was at least a year old, but Beau plays with all Isaac's toys, crawls on him and tries to be a part of whatever Isaac is doing. It is so amazing watch these two! I pray that they remain forever friends!
