Texan Half Birthday!

We have been in Texas for the last week. During that time- Grayson turned 6 months old. I can hardly believe it has been 6 months! Time is just flying by and he is growing and changing so fast!

So- I realized at the end of the night I had not taken a picture on his actual 6 month and snapped this. Pardon the bad coloring/lighting.

So- here are some tidbits about Grayson at 6 months

He weighs in at 14 lbs 2 oz as of tonight.
He is around 25 inches long.
He is still wearing mostly 0-3 month clothing (except Gerber onesies in the packages)
He is not interested in purees anymore so we are going the Baby Led Weaning route to introduce solids
He army crawls all over and can now pull himself from sitting to standing, He is still working on going from laying to sitting though
He will walk if you are holding him in a standing position. I am hoping this does not mean he will be an early walker.
He still fights naps like none other (Terrie saw first hand what I mean by this...people never understand until they see it.)
He talks when he is tired to keep himself awake
He loves to laugh and make others laugh
He enjoys anything with Mickey Mouse on it
He loves books

Our trip was wonderful but it really threw Grayson off and he had just adjusted to being in Texas when we came home and now he is having trouble getting back into the groove of being home. He got so used to sleeping with us in Texas that he won't sleep even the first part of the night alone. I hope to get a chance to post pictures, etc from Texas soon.

The best news came the day we were leaving for Texas when the Bolanders called to let us know they are going to be stationed in Colorado in May/June of 2011. We are super excited to have them closer where we can hopefully see them multiple times a year.
