Holden's Sixth Month

My little man is half of a year old! It is amazing how when you are a kid, time seems to move so slow, and the older you get, the faster it goes. Everyone told me this would happen, and they were totally right. Time SHOOTS BY when you have a kid! I don't think six months has ever passed by so fast, but then again, I don't think I have ever marked each month with such importance as I do now.

Holden's six month "birthday" was on Christmas Eve. We had a relaxing Christmas eve, with only one family stop that day. Here are his typically monthly photos. " )

This month, Holden has mastered the art of rolling for a purpose. If he wants something, he rolls to it. If he doesn't want anything, he still rolls. This is his new trick and he is mighty proud of it! It also makes diaper changes more of a sport for mommy and daddy!

His little mohawk of hair is stilling growing more than anything else, but he is finally getting a little more on the sides. No, we did not cut it like that. " )
(The back of his head is still flat!)

Grandma High bought him this Christmas Tree outfit a few months ago. It was sized 6-12 months. We had to cut out the bottom so he could fit into it!

At his 6 month appointment, he was 73rd percentile for weight and 96th percentile for height. John and I are not tall people. We don't know where that comes from!
Auntie Teaira got him his first Christmas Ornament. I LOVE it!
I don't know if this angry face is because he couldn't taste the candy cane through the plastic, or that he could...

The best part of any day - baby snuggles! This was after six Christmas stops in 24 hours. We were both tired and enjoyed Grandpa's rocking chair.
Happy half year nugget! You make life better and we are so lucky to get to love you!
