The Hall Herold: 6 Months

The major accomplishment during Reese's 6th month was that HE STARTED CRAWLING! It is an army crawl, but he is super fast. He makes it from our living room to kitchen before I can turn around. It is crazy to look down and see my baby boy patting my feet for me to pick him up while I'm cooking dinner. He is even crawling up into my lap if I am sitting on the floor. He really just keeps getting better and better! He has began reaching for me and crying for me when I leave the room. He also cries for me if he is tired. I must say that it melts me!

Some random things going on with Reese in his 6th Month:

He went to his first baseball game
He got moved to the "creepers" class at Church because he is now mobile
He has fallen in love with any and all toys. He really likes balls (b/c he can crawl after them) and anything that lights up or makes noise.
He turns the pages for me as I read. He obviously doesn't know when to turn them, but he basically just grabs them when he gets a chance and turns them a few at a time... then laughs!
LOVES to be in the water. He went swimming for the first time and loved it. We go a few times a week! He still loves the bath and is out of his baby bath now. He usually takes a bath with mommy.
Still nursing! We may just keep him on breast milk and his veggies/fruit until he starts regular milk. I'm not so much of a fan of all of the chemicals in the formula, and it has honestly gotten so much easier for me to nurse him.
Wearing 6-9 month clothes
Weighs 18 pounds, 4 ounces
His height is 27 inches!!!
He obviously hit a huge growth spurt. At our 4 month appt, he was in the 10th percentile for both. He is now in the 75th percentile! Our pediatrician said she predicted him to be walking well before he turned a year because he started crawling so early. He's an ambitious little guy! Obviously you can't predict these types of things.
He has met his first girlfriend. She was in his class at daycare and literally would not leave his side. She followed him everywhere and would give him toys all day. He would light up when he saw her! God answered my prayers by giving him a friend to play with already.
