Westley is 6 Months Old!

Westley turned 6 months on October 27th!

He is so smiley and squealy and sweet. He is such a happy boy and brings Drew and I so much joy. There have been times when I have been sad or stressed or anxious this month and when I look at his face I literally feel my body change from static to peace. I really just can't get enough of him. We are so blessed to have him and everyday I thank God for giving us Westley. Our little sweetie with sugary butter breath, soft cheeks and a sweet disposition. I often ask him, "Oh Westley how did I get so lucky?" and he just looks at me with his happy gum smile soaking in the love.

Here are Westley's 6 month stats:

Height - 28 inches 

Weight - 18 lbs 4 oz 

Head - 17 inches 

What he is doing:
Making a lot more sounds in his babbling, especially when he first wakes up
Rolling and scooting around
Cutting his first tooth!
Going for long walks in the Ergo with Mama quite happily
Knows and responds to his name
Knows the sign for "milk"
Knows the sign for "up"
Mostly taking only one long nap in the morning
Smiles A LOT and we love it
Holds and passes toys from hand to hand
Grew out of his infant carrier and now is in his convertible carseat




What he loves:
Looking at himself or others in the mirror
His stuffed Simba Daddy got him
When we put blanket on his face and pull it off
Peek-a-boo games
Giving him an object and then taking it away real quick, he cracks up at this!
His mobile, if you hold him close to it he will reach out at the cranes
New places and faces
New objects or toys
Just being with us wherever we are



What annoys him:
Getting his pajamas put on at nighttime, he gets impatient to eat!
Too many tickles
Taking too long to get him out of his car seat
Eating solids...he isn't that interested anymore in this
Not being able to get to things or move the way he wants to

Way to grow baby boy!
