D is 6 months!

Happy 6 months to our little buddy! Time flies, but let me tell you, time goes even faster with two. This little guy is so awesome!Weight: 19 lbs 8 oz (75%)
Length: 27.5 in (79%)
Head Circumference: 18 in (96%)
•He wears a size 3 diaper.
•He is in size 12 months in clothes.
•He wears size 1-2 shoes.
•He drinks 4, 6 oz breastmilk/formula bottles and we just started putting a tiny bit of milk in a sippy cup!
•This kid is eating everything! He is eating mostly #2 foods and a couple #3. With Laela we used all Gerber food and it was just applesauce or just peas. It was only one flavor in each container. With Dhillon we have been trying organic baby food and they make them mixed, so he is getting 2-3 flavors in one serving. He loves the cinnamon apple oatmeal and sweet potato, apple, mango mix. Seriously, he is eating all veggies and fruits given to him (expect banana because we are sure it works with him). With in the last two weeks, he has also started the disolvable cheeto things for babies and strawberry yogurt melts. Like I said...this guy likes to eat!•This kid is HAPPY! He wakes up happy. He giggles like no one I have ever heard and WOW...you should see him look at Laela. He LOVES to watch her dance and enjoys hearing her sing! Laela could probably put her stinky foot in his face and he would love it because it was Laela Grace, Big Sis!•I thought boy's were supposed to be for their momma's. Well, lately, Dhillon has been all about Daddy. Oh man. Kinda makes me sad, but I know he will be all mine when he gets a little older and wiser. He will realize that I am really the better half. :) HA! HA!•Rolling! Dhillon is rolling from back to front all the time, but he has not quite mastered how to get from front to back. We will keep working.
•In a standing position, D thinks he is ready to run track with the big guys, but for now we will continue to lay on our bellies and think about crawling!•Dhillon has been been a wonderful sleeper and eater! He is has had a few rounds of sickness, but nothing that really slowed him down until he turned 6 months. He got the dreaded FLU. Seriously. The flu in March/April. DARN! Poor D. He was so sad and just had no energy to do anything. He didn't eat much or drink much and he had a fever for 6 days. He is just not coming out of it. We had a doctor check and they say it can last 7-10 days, so we are just waiting it out and I can't wait until our HAPPY little guy feels 100% again!
Happy 6 months, Dhillon!
We love you with all of our hearts!
