6 months!

I'm horrible about doing anything on time! Dane was 6 months on March 26th - and here it is almost 2 weeks later! Oh dear.

We recently got his pictures taken. I love my photographer so anyone looking for great pics for your kids, check out her site at www.saraboulterphotography.com. And for a couple more pics of his shoot you can go to her blog http://saraboulterphotography.blogspot.com.



Since he turned 6 months (only 2 weeks ago) he has already done so much. Last friday he finally rolled onto his stomach from his back. And then on Sunday night one of his bottom teeth poked through. Most moms would be excited about this milestone, but not me. I was hoping it wouldn't happen for another few months (and i think other breastfeeding moms would agree!)

Dane also started to eat veggies - he loves green beans and peas. Carrots are not his friend - fierce gas pains await so we'll hold off on those.

Here are the numbers on Dane at 6 months:
1. weight 16lbs 4oz
2. height 25 1/2 inches
3. 1100+ diapers
4. 3000+ wipes
5. -20 times peed on mom
6. 1 - Pooped on mom
7. 13500+ number of kisses received from mom and dad
8. 15 – nights without waking up
9. 145 – nights with one or more times of waking up mom
10. 3 times threw up so bad mom had to change her clothes and shower
11. 15 shots
12. 7 doctors visits
13. 3 naps a day (3-4 hours total)
14. 12 hours sleeping at night
15. 1 plane ride
16. 6 – weeks on solid food
17. 3000 smiles
18. 240 hours of daddy/son bonding time
19. 2 dimples
20. 15, 552,000 – every second that Dane brings joy to our home

Enjoy these pictures.



We love you, Dane!!!

Yes, teething is one of the milestones nursing mothers would agree is not a pleasant one. Braxton started teething at 3 mos. and Kieran just started at 4 1/2 mos. Dane is adorable. I love your blog and watching him grow.

Those were some pretty cute pictures! They grow so fast.

I love stats. Crazy how many diapers they go through.

Seriously, Mieka - what a cutie! Wow! And don't worry - if you're only 2 weeks behind that is okay! You're doing great.

One more thing - Ella just barely got her first tooth, quickly followed by a second and she weighs 16 pounds, 14 oz. She and Dane are neck and neck! :) She just turned 10 months, by the way... :) Although, my kids usually progress at a slower rate than other kids. Funny, though.
