Half a year...

I can't believe our baby boy is 6 Months Old.  I have been very emotional these last few days.  I feel like the days are passing by so fast and before I know it. . .months have passed by.  These last 6 months have felt like a blur.  I'm trying so hard to remember all of the little details of Easton's life so far and I feel like I'm trying to take mental snapshots so I don't forget how he was when he was this little.  Today, he and I cuddled on the couch and I just wanted it to last forever.  Never again will his little hand be so tiny and soft.  These are the moments that I just want to freeze and stay in forever. 
Sweet Baby
I took him for his 6 month wellness check up and it was an overload of information. . .The kinds of foods he should be eating, milestones he should be doing, start giving him water in a sippy cup, how he should be sleeping, etc. . .
I left there with tears in my eyes, because I can't stand watching him get his shots, and feeling like he is no longer our little baby. . .he's now becoming a little boy :(  I know, I know. . .he is still a baby, but that's just how I was feeling.  I knew this day would come when he would have to start switching to real food and drinking things other than formula, I just didn't realize it would come so soon. 
At the Doctor's office, waiting for his shots.
I want him to progress, grow, learn new things, and get bigger.  It's exciting watching him discover new things and learn how to do something for the first time.  Justin and I talk about how we can't wait until he can say words and reach out for us (Justin mostly), I just wish it wasn't right around the corner. Our next big step is CRAWLING. . . Eeeeekkk

Easton at 6 Months 
18.3 lbs
28.5 in.

Favorite Things He Does:
Rolls over
Laughs like crazy at silly things
Jumps in his Jumperoo
Grabs our faces
Pulls on his ears or hair sometimes when he takes his bottle
Kicks his legs like a Wildman when he gets excited
Grabs everything in his sight and puts it to his mouth
Lays in bed with us on the weekends
Jabbers and squeals at 5:00 in the morning ;)
Starting to sit up

LOVE that he is such a sweet and happy Baby

Happy 6 Months Baby E
Couldn't imagine our lives without you
