Half a Year is gone already?????

Zayne will be 6 months old tomorrow. Wow. Thats a little hard to swallow. Its amazing to me how fast the time has gone this time. I feel like as soon as a catch up to and grab ahold of a moment it's time to start chasing the next one because they are racing by!!! Zayne is doing SO MUCH. The gamut of emotions that overwhelm me when I think about all he is doing is CRAZY! Here are some things I want to remember....

~At his last appt about a month ago he weighed 14lbs 13oz.

~His eyes are still BLUE :)

~He started rolling over ALL THE TIME before 5 months old and has been going all over the place since then.

~He 'halfway' crawls forward and can crawl backwards with the best of them.

~He started sitting up at 5 months and is getting to be a champ at it now.

~He LOVES his jumperoo. He goes CRAZY in it.

~He HATES when whatever he is chewing on gets taken away from him...serious attitude for SURE. Daddy says that comes from mommy...I disagree.

~He LOVES his mommy milk. So much so that he isn't very interested in anything else. He has had a total of about 8-10 bottles of expressed milk since he was born and doesn't really care for the bottles very much. We tried giving him rice cereal a few times but it didn't go over well so I stopped giving it to him and just went straight to food. He has had squash a few times up to this point. We'll try something new next week but it will only be a few times a week for awhile.

~His sleep pattern is TERRIBLE right now. He doesn't sleep alot AT ALL. He mostly sleeps in the bed with us because it is easier to feed him that way. I really need to stop that and SOON. VERY VERY SOON. Like a few months ago soon.

~He CONSTANTLY chews on his fingers but I feel no teeth. He never took a paci much to my dismay.

~He is still wearing size 2 diapers but we are on our last box of those and we'll be heading on up.

~He can wear 3-6 month clothes but we're close to moving on up in that area too.

~He is a VERY happy baby. He smiles and laughs ALL THE TIME.

~He will go to other people with ease. No problem getting him to stay in the nursery at church or letting other people hold him.

~He LOVES kisses and tight hugs...which is a VERY good thing otherwise he would be crying all day because he gets A TON of those between mommy and big sister.

~Jordan and Alana have adjusted very well to having him around and I LOVE seeing the bond they are creating.

I said in the beginning and I'll say it again...Zayne has been my easiest baby. He is so laid back. If his sleeping was a little better then things would be too perfect. I LOVE my 3 children and could not even begin to imagine life without them. I was scared to death of having 3 but God has shown me in the last 6 months that this is where I'm supposed to be and what I'm supposed to be doing. I have been blessed beyond measure! We're still kind of up in the air about having a fourth child. As soon as I feel like we are done I get this little nagging feeling that maybe we should have JUST ONE MORE. Then somebody starts crying and I remember why I think I'm done :) I feel content with 3 but if for some reason God sees fit to bless us with one more then I'll be content with that too...I just hope it isn't too soon if He does!
