Happy 6 Months Baby Leo!

Somehow I blinked and my baby is a 1/2 year old.  We had a little celebration with some chocolate cake and party hats.  My parents partook via Skype.  It was fun and somehow I managed to get through "Happy Birthday" without crying, so that's a plus.

We took Leo in for his 6 month checkup.  He weighs 18 lbs 2 oz (the same as Gwen was at that age), is 27.25 " tall (Gwen was 1.25 inches shorter), and his head is in the 91st percentile (Gwen was always 97%).  I joked with the doctor about how svelte Leo is.  He didn't see the humor and talked to me about child obesity...........seriously??  He's tall and skinny right??!?

Everyone told me that we just had to make it to 6 months, with 2 kids, and then it would get easier.  Boy were they right.  Leo has become such a happy baby.  He's still waking up anywhere between 0-2 times a night, at random times, but during the day he rarely cries or is fussy.  He talks and laughs.  He can sit for seconds at a time and yesterday he even got on all fours and moved backwards.  I am kinda thinking he may crawl before Gwen did (she was 10 months).    I don't think we are ready for 2 mobile kids though.  I don't sit down as it is.............
