Stop the Clock! 6 Months

Twenty-Two Weeks

Twenty-Three Weeks

Twenty-Four Weeks

Twenty-Five Weeks

Twenty-Six Weeks


Weight and height done at 6 month well baby check up

Weight: 19.4 lbs (83rd percentile)

Height: 28" (95th percentile)

Head: 17.5 cm (82nd percentile)

Sleeping: Nothing too new with sleeping, other than the time change (still getting up an hour early a week and a half later). Also, right after he turned 5 months, there was a week were he screamed all throughout the night (even after I would give in and put him in bed with us). Thank goodness that pasted. We are blaming teeth. Still rocking the 30 minute naps, 40 if we are really lucky :)

New Skills:
~ He can sit up by himself for little bit. He will be sitting all by himself with no problem in no time!
~ Lifting his body off the ground using his arms

He Loves:
~ Rolling all over the place (finally), especially with his stuffed doggie named "Tag."
~ He loves brother Theo. It has been so much watching the two of them together lately. Charlie loves to pull Theo's hair. Theo has been taking it like a champ.
~ Clapping! When others clap for him or help him clap he bursts out in laughter!
~ His bouncer
~ Going for runs in the stroller. He likes to sit and watch everything go by.

He Doesn't Like:
~ The size 6+ pacifiers. They make him gag.

Exciting Things We Did:
We went to the Country Barn were we got to take a tractor ride out to a pumpkin patch and pick our own pumpkins! Charlie had such a blast! Okay, lets be honest, it's a tradition we would love to keep doing, but C just wanted to nap the whole time. It will definitely be lots of fun next year when we go!





"Okay seriously guys?! I just want to nap. Stop trying to take my picture with our pumpkins!" 
We made Charlie sit in one of the pumpkins we picked. He realllly did not like the pumpkin on his head, but really loved it in his mouth. :)

Is it terrible that I find the upset feelings of my child completely adorable in this picture?





We went to the cabin! 

Playing cards with Grampy!

Helping him win!

We took a really long hike. It took us about three hours, which isn't too long, except when you aren't exactly sure were you are going and you have 2 tired 6 years olds, and an exhausted 3 year old. Charlie did great and really enjoyed it even though the picture may seem differently.

Daddy teaching him how to play soccer already!
Charlie's first Halloween! We had Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin, and Tigger! We skipped trick or treating and just went over to Grandpa and Grandma Hollinger's house. 

So we bought Charlie's costume a month early at a sale. He had plenty of room to grow into when we bought it, so we put it in the closet and forgot about it until we got to the parking lot and went to put it on. Let's just say it was a little to small...but we got it on... and then we had to cut it off. Parent fail. No worries though! Our little Pooh Bear was A-OK. ;)

We had a hard time getting a good photo

Thankful for a daddy that will "dress up" too

Pooh needs honey, right?
