Briggs at 6 months

He's getting big.
And bigger every day.

Bridger is now 6 months old and he weighs 18 lbs. 13 oz. and is 28 inches long.

That's a big boy.

A really big boy.

Six months for this kid means...

*Crawling... army crawling, and he's getting pretty fast.

*No teeth yet, but if the drool is at all prophetic of things to come, they should be in by morning.

*He loves his baths. I put about two inches of water in the tub, lay him on his back and let him go to town. He splashes and smiles until the water gets cold, then I refill the tub (wipe down the walls) and he goes again... he could live in the tub and be plenty happy.
*He wears Porter's 12 month rompers, which are only slightly large on him.
*Smiles... constantly.
*He is very ticklish, particularly his thighs and right under his rib cage.
*He has a darling little chuckle.

*He laughs at himself in the mirror.

*He still loves to be swaddled to go to sleep, he'll start closing his eyes as you wrap him up.
*He loves his big brother. Porter makes him grin.
*He has started eating his fruits and veggies, and the boy isn't picky when it comes to food.
*We think he's going to be blonde. He's got quite a bit of hair coming in and it's light and it's thick, so I guess we'll wait and see.


He's just a good boy.
An all around good boy.
He eats good, sleeps good, smiles all the time and rarely gets upset (unless he hasn't eaten in a while... but really, who doesn't get a little grumpy when they're hungry?)
We couldn't have asked for a better baby.

Briggs has been such a fun addition to the family... we're so happy that he's here.

I can't believe it's been six months already! Time is just FLYING by. He's the cutest little six month old I know. I love all of his fat rolls. Every one of them.

Plus he looks more and more like his brother every day! Or at least every blog post...really I can't vouch for the daily stuff. Bummer.
