6 Months and Still HUGE!

I can't believe my baby is already half a year old!  It's crazy to think he is going to be one before I know it!  He has been SO much fun... I have loved every minute of it.  Trey is so full of energy and is always so happy.  People often tell me what a smiley baby I have... and it's true, it really doesn't take much to get him to smile.  I love it because his laugh and smile are so contagious!  Before you know it, he can have the whole room laughing!

It wasn't until these past couple of weeks that my little stinker figured out how to roll over!  I was starting to worry he had become a little too content just laying there on his back.  Which I guess is still the case, considering he has only rolled from tummy to back.  But hey it's a start!  He did it twice in a row one night without me even having to coax him.  I was shocked!  A few of my friends were even there to witness it, so when he didn't do it again for another week I at least had witnesses to prove I didn't make it up!

A friend of ours let us borrow their bouncer that you hang in the doorway and Trey LOVES it.  One time he stayed in it for almost an hour, which of course is great for me.  He also loves his exersaucer. I love watching him discover new toys and new lights, it seems like each time I put him in it he discovers something new and his little face just lights up.  And lately when he presses the music buttons he will start to bounce kinda like he's dancing.  It's too cute.

I don't know if any of you have seen the show Little Einsteins but Trey just loves the introduction to it... In fact, if he is ever fussy or I need something to entertain him, I will turn it on and play it over and over and over.  Gets him every time.  :)  The downside is, Jeff and I often find ourselves singing it during the day.  Hey, it's a catchy theme!

I woke up this morning to find a pearly little white thing popping through Trey's gums.  I was letting him chew on my finger when I felt something sharp!  His first TOOTH!  It's crazy how one day there's nothing and the next it just appears!  Not sure if I'm excited about this or not, I'm just hoping it doesn't lead to biting... otherwise, we might have a problem.

Trey has become a pro at sitting up by himself.  I think I mentioned last time he was still a little wobbly but now he does great.  I like that it makes it easier for him to play with toys when he can sit up on his own.

I have introduced Trey to quite a few baby foods and have discovered... He doesn't love fruit.  He enjoys most of the vegetables or will at least finish them.  And he LOVES his oatmeal.  Always wants more when I am done.  Lately he is starting to want everything we are eating which has become a bit of a challenge because he will get really upset if you don't give it to him.  Smart boy.

Trey is quite the talker.  And he is LOUD.  I could swear that he tries to out-do every baby around.  I guess he wants to be heard!  Church has become oh so fun.  For some reason he is the loudest when it is the quietest.

If someone would have told me that my 6 month old would be wearing 18 month clothes I wouldn't have believed them.  But it's true!!  Trey is wearing 18 month clothes!!!  Yes I know, it is quite hilarious.  Next time I don't think I will be buying clothes in advance.  I have wasted way too much money on clothes that have gone straight to bins before they've even been worn!  Such a sad thing because he had such cute clothes.

I took Trey to his 6 month appointment yesterday and aside from a few tears, he handled his shots like a champ.  I think sometimes it's harder for me to watch him get them than it is for him to get them!  Here are his stats:

Weight: 23lbs 12oz  (Size of an average 14 month old)

Height:  28 1/2 in  (Size of an average 1 year old)

Head:  18 in

Yes, he is still off the charts in all three...  I really don't mind, I think it makes him extra cute. :) It's just a pain having to carry him around everywhere!!  The doctor is hopeful that he will soon start evening out.  Supposedly, that is usually the case once they start moving.  We will see.

Here are a couple 6 month shots.  Notice he is sporting a Utah State T-shirt. (Thank you Laci)  

GO AGGIES!!!
