The Halfway Mark

Caleb is finally 6 months old! We have made it halfway to toddlerhood. It is amazing how much faster time flies when you have two kids. I thought Kylie got big fast, but it seems as though I just blinked and Caleb is 6 months old. He is getting to such a fun stage. He is army crawling across the house. The other day he tried to get up on his knees, but gave up and went back to arm crawling. He is such a happy little man. Even though he constantly dealing with reflux, he loves to smile and talk and laugh. He loves his big sister and lights up when she walks into the room. She can make him laugh faster than anyone else in the house. He also has made a unique bond with our cat, Chrissy. Chrissy loves to be by herself and runs away whenever Kylie comes near her, but for some reason she will cross the room to come over by where Caleb is playing and let him pet/pat her for a while. He loves it and smiles and talks to her. Caleb is not a great sleeper, (though, neither was Kylie) he has three short (45min tops) naps during the day and wakes up every 3/4 hrs at night still. We are slowly getting him use to his crib. He will start out there at night and if we're lucky go back into it after he wakes up around 1:00am (this doesn't happen often, but we are working on it). Caleb is eating solid foods and loves his fruits. Vegetables are a little harder to get him to eat and normally involve being served in between bites of a fruit. He is started to eat those little gerber puffs and is getting pretty good ate feeding those to himself; though Kylie loves to help feed him those, so he doesn't get much practice. He is growing great! He now weighs 16 lbs, 2 oz. and is a little over 26 in. long. Who needs a gym, when you walk around carrying a 16 lb baby most of the day. We are very blessed to have him in our lives, he brings so much to our family!
