Hoyt's 6 Month Update

I can't believe my baby turned 6 months old in November. Time has flown and we can't imagine our home without this happy, content, super-cute little guy. Here are his 6 month stats:

Weight: 19.05 lbs. (76%)

Height: 27.75 in. (89%)

This kid is solid! Lexie was always long and skinny, but as you can see he is tall and heavy. I took some pictures soon after he turned 6 months and had so many cute ones, but here are just a few. I love his huge blue eyes and cute smile. I have never seen a more content baby in my life and can't complain at all because he really is such a good boy.

At 6 months Hoyt is rolling and scooting all over the floor and rocks on his hands and knees so I know he will be officially crawling very soon. He has been sitting self supported for several weeks, but he would rather dive forward so he can scoot around, and sometimes he just flippes back with no warning so we have to keep soft things behind him. He has been drooling and chewing like crazy for weeks but still hasn't cut his first tooth yet. He is now eating solids 3 or 4 times a day and is much more opinionated about food than Lexie was, but he does really love to eat! He also loves his sister and likes when she plays with him and makes him laugh. He likes to say "dadada", squeal, and make tasmanian devil sounds. We are grateful he is both healthy and happy.

He likes his exersaucer.

Now a little update on Hoyt at 5 months since I never posted that month. Here are a couple pictures I took of him at 5 months. He started rolling from back to stomach just before he turned 5 months so that definately made him a lot more mobile which he has really enjoyed. He also found his toes and constanty likes to grab them and chew on them. He also really found his voice and started to squeal and babble which has made it hard to sit through church.

We also tried starting solids at 5 months and as the pictures show he was not impressed with rice cereal...or any cereal for that matter. I stopped trying for a couple weeks then just started fruits and veggies. Now he will eat most kinds of cereal as long as there is fruit added. These pictures really crack me up.
