Hunter 6 months

Hunter is 6 months now as of Monday. I can't believe that he is already half way to being 1! It has gone by really fast. He is still a very calm, mellow, easy-going baby. Thanks goodness, since Jessi and Tanner can't stop moving. Hunter decided that he wanted to catch up a little this week, so on Monday he decided to learn to roll both directions and went all the way across the living room. The next day he continues his learning streak, and now today he is constantly rolling tummy, back, tummy, back. I think it is only a few days before he will be across the room to get something. This is new for me since the other two rolled to their tummy and then scooted for everything. They never rolled back to their backs until after they learned to crawl.

Also Hunter had another tooth come in about a week after the first. Again he wasn't too fussy, so hopefully the trend continues.

We went to the doctor on Tuesday and here are his stats. (And the other kids for comparison.)
Hunter: Weight: 17.14lbs.(58%) /Height: 27in.(72%)
Tanner: Weight: 16.11lbs /Height: 27in.
Jessi: Weight: 17.14lbs /Height: 27.25in.
He has come down in his percentiles but the doctor is still impressed by is growth. He is now taking 4-5 8oz bottles a day, I'm hoping that he will reduce that a little since we are starting him on solids. Formula is way to expensive to be going through it so fast!
He is laughing more, but still not a lot. Mostly at the kids when they are jumping around. He is happy, but mostly content to take it all in. He is getting more vocal though and says dadadadada a lot and just screams some times, but not in a bad way yet.
He is also starting to sit up more. He has tried to sit with support for a long time and is strong enough to sit forward on your lap if you don't hold him back, but he doesn't have the strength yet to hold himself upright and so topples forward.

I look forward to the next few months when he gets more mobile but at the same time it makes my life more challenging. I think it will be fun to watch the other kids interact with him as he becomes more entertaining to them.

The weather was beautiful on Monday and I knew it was supposed to rain some this week so we took the kids to the park.

Hunter didn't seem to like the swing much at first and was even a little scared when I pushed his like this.

But once he got his arms out he seemed to enjoy it more. (I love the triple chins in the above picture.)

Enjoy!
