Deegan's Half Birthday

Today marks 6 months that Deegan has been in our family. Crazy how fast it goes by and crazy that I cannot even imagine life without him! Here are some fun pics from dinner tonight. Yes they are all pretty much the same but with a smile like that, how could I choose only one????

I thought for a treat for his "birthday" I would let him try chicken and gravy. I opened it and it didn't smell good to me and the texture was interesting. I gave him one bite and he shivered and gagged and turned in his seat. ha ha. Sometimes he is not a fan of the first bite of things so I gave him one more bite just to see. Nope! Not a fan. It was pretty hilarious. So no more meat for Deegan. At least for a while.

But as you can see, he loved his carrots!

And had bananas for dessert! Yum!

What a sweet boy! No worries, bath time was immediately after this!

Here are some things about Deegan at 6 months:

*He is in size 1-2 diapers.
*He is in size 3-6 month clothes. (Believe it or not he still fits in some of his 0-3)
*He LOVES his baby food. He has had carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, bananas, apples, and pears.
*He HATES rice cereal. I have tried mixing it in his baby food but he knows its there. :)
*He LOVES his (borrowed) exersaucer. Thanks Michelle!
*He can roll over both ways but rarely does. When on his tummy he focuses all his energy on scooting. He doesn't move much yet but he sure tries!
*He sleeps at least 9 hours every night.
*He has started sleeping so much in the evenings. He will nap around 4 or 5 for an hour or so and then again around 7-8 for one to two hours. Then down for the night about 9:30-10.
*He has learned a new trick! New post to come. Nothing huge but I have been wanting him to do it for a while and I think it is so cute!
*He has been able to have his dad stay home with him for the last while. Being out of work is good for something!
*He loves to reach up and touch your face when you hold him while he is sleepy. It is so so sweet.


I think that is about it. He is still the happiest, sweetest boy and we could not ask for a more perfect little guy! He goes for his 6 month checkup next Thursday. Let's hope he is at least on the charts in all categories. ha ha.

Happy half Birthday little man! We sure love you bunches!
