6 months

Look at that cute face. Can you believe he is 6 months old? Me either!! These past months have literally flown by. I cannot believe it was half a year ago that we brought this little blessing home from the hospital. 

I remember how stressed out I was with a newborn. Every little cry he made I jumped up and tried my best to soothe him, but I really had no idea what I was doing. I was new at being a parent and I was so grateful that he was new at being a baby haha. He didn't know any different if his onesie was on backwards or if he didn't get a bath for a couple days. That is one thing I was told before I had Brady and I was so happy to think back on that as my son was peeing all over the changing station. He is learning just like I am and it is a process that everyone has to go through :] It's hard being a new parent, but I love every minute of it!

Brady has changed so much recently! Some new fun things with Brady:

• He can sit up on his own for 5-10 minutes - after that he gets tired and will just tip over. So if I'm not sitting close to him, I surround him with pillows haha
• He can roll from front to back and back to front. I will put him on the floor with toys and he will be across the room in a few minutes!
• He loves to talk and make lots of noises while he is laying on his back - the past few days he has been gargling!! 
• I have tried rice cereal a few times and he has LOVED it! He leans forward towards the spoon and opens his mouth. He even tries to grab on to it and pull it in sometimes!
• He is ticklish :] He holds in his laugh though! I wish he would do a full on gut laugh, but he just does small little giggles for now. I love it so much.
• He has only been waking up around 4 the past few days and then he is up for the day at 7 which makes me so happy. When he was sick he was waking up 2 or 3 times during the night... terrible...
• His favorite toy is Sophie the giraffe that his Grandma bought for him. It is the perfect toy because it is light weight, easy to hold, and so fun to suck on!

Brady is such a happy baby. He is content just playing alone, and he also loves sitting on my lap and reading books or playing with toys. My favorite time of day is his morning feeding. When he wakes up at 7, Jordan is just starting to wake up so he will bring him in bed with us and we all just lay and cuddle and laugh in bed. I nurse him and Jordan lays with us and we talk about our days :] it is probably the best thing in the world!

So today after Jordan left I decided I wanted to do a mini 6 month photo shoot down on the grass at our apartment complex. I was so happy the pictures turned out a million times better than when I take them at our Wymount apartment in Utah :] There were too many cute ones to pick from, so sorry for the picture overload :] Enjoy!
