Jackson 6 Month Pics

We just took Jackson's 6 month pictures yesterday morning (although he's actually going to be turning 7 months in just a few days). Better late than never! At his 6 month check-up, our little man weighed in at 17 lbs 4 ozs and 27 1/2 inches long putting him in the 80% percentile for height and the 39% for weight - the doctor says that's great and just where he wants to see him. So that means that he's grown 6 1/2 inches since he's been born and has gained 9 lbs and 12 ozs, and all of that in 6 months which is huge. Apparently babies grow the most rapidly in their first 6 months and then after that they slow down considerably so we can actually keep him in some of his clothes for a relatively longer period of time. Jackson loves sticking everything in his mouth (especially paper), chewing on his feet, bath time, making bubbles with his mouth, going for walks in his Baby Bjorn front carrier, having books read to him and having Dave and I play with him and interact in any sort of way. He's a pretty quirky little guy and we've found that he likes to roll from his tummy to his back but not the other way around, he doesn't jump in his Jump Around toy seat he just likes to play with the toys and he's very particular about which baby foods he will eat and when he will eat them (we found that if you sing songs to him while he eats he likes that the best). Such a fun journey this has been with parenting and we look forward to every additional minute :)
