6 Months!

The last 6 months have gone so fast!  They have also been full of lot of learning adjusting and fun.  This whole post is going to be about Alden and how much we love having this little boy in our life.  I wanted to document some of his accomplishments and general cuteness so that we don't forget just how fun this age is.      

Putting in his binky all by himself, it is upside down, but he has mastered the skill now.

At his 6 month appointment the doctor said he was perfect, and we couldn't agree more, even with his large head :) (he is a little under average in weight and a little over average in height, but in the 90% for head circumference)

Alden has started rolling over like a pro, but sometimes forgets that when he doesn't want to be on his tummy any more he can just roll to his back.

He sleeps at least 8 hours at a time at night (if we are not in a tent)

He loves riding in the car.  He will get really excited to talk to himself in the mirror and kicks his legs in the car seat to show his excitement. 

Alden loves to play in front of the mirror in the bathroom. 

And he loves water and bath time every night.

His favorite toy is currently a book that talks and plays music.  

He loves to eat and thankfully is not picky.  So far he has eaten only vegetables and cereal, but there is nothing he hasn't liked (although he didn't love peas).

We love watching him learn new things, like how to put his binky in, and just discovery the world around him.

He is overall a happy boy that smiles a ton and gets really excited to see mom and dad.

Alden plays well by himself and has recently started talking a lot.  And I mean a lot!  He babbles dadadada over and over.  It is so cute because his mouth will move a few times before any sound comes out.  

Here are some pictures of our boy from the past couple of weeks.  

We love sweet potatoes

Discovering bubbles.  They are pretty fun

Playing so hard he couldn't stay awake any longer

 

We love this little boy and are so grateful he has been healthy so far.  Here's to 6 more months :)
