the big 6

That's right, Jaden is now six months old!  Where has the time gone?!?  It's crazy for me to think he's already half way through his first year!

Some highlights from Jaden's world this past month:
  • sitting up on his own for a few moments at a time
  • great at grabbing and manipulating just about anything he can get his hands on
  • started the coveted rice cereal for the first time (with a little oatmeal here and there and a some carrots)
  • has learned to keep his hands still while mommy feeds him (for the most part)
  • discovered his feet and toes (can't get enough of 'em)
  • new favorite talking sounds: "bah bah bah bah" and "da da da da"
  • went from 6 feedings, every 3 hours, 3 naps a day and 10 hours nighttime sleep to 4 feedings, every 4 hours, 2 naps a day and 12 hours nighttime sleep in the matter of days (didn't expect that to happen just quite yet, but I'm lovin' it!  my baby is growing up way too fast!)
  • has grown a nice coat of blonde peach fuzz (with a few super long baby hairs still in the mix)
  • has one tooth cutting through on top
  • enjoying the sunshine more and more (it's been cold and wintery practically his entire life so we're soaking in all we can get!)
His stats:
  • height - 29 inches (over 97%)
  • weight - 19 lbs. 13 oz. (75-80%)
  • head - 47 cm (over 97%)
And some moments caught on camera from this past month:

LOVES hangin' in the jumper (thanks for letting us borrow it, Jamie!)

Jaden is seriously giddy when daddy comes home!

This boy finally has a finished nursery, too!  Cody whipped it together in 2 days flat over spring break.  Love it, babe.

Happy 6 months little man!  Love, love, love you!
