Happy Half-Birthday

Paycen celebrated his half birthday on the 8th of July. My baby is growing up so fast. I can't believe he's 6 months old and half way to being ONE! Our celebration included a trip to the peds office and 3 shots in the legs. Great. Actually, Paycen did really good. He weighs 14 lbs 9 oz and is in the 5%. Poor little guy. I think Dr. Lofgran was going to say something about his weight when Paycen started showing off. He showed him how he coos and babbles non-stop, he scoots, squirms and army crawls to any toy of interest. In this case the crinkly paper and stethoscope. No more worries about my light weight, he is growing up just fine.

I didn't know that stranger anxiety started now. The look of panic on Paycen's face as the nurses and doctors came in was surprising. He clung to me for a little bit and then was okay. How do they know? I don't remember Kaden being stranger anxious. I think it's because he got sent to many sitter's homes while I taught gymnastics.




Any way. I just thought I would post a few pictures of what Paycen is doing now. What a crazy...I told him to stop but he wouldn't listen. He wiggles and moves so much. His objective is to get to Kaden wherever he is. As soon as he does Kaden yells "Mom! Paycen touching me." and then moves his little party to the other side of the room. Paycen then slowly makes his way over to Kaden again. I have two really cute boys!!!

wow i can't believe hes already 6 months! so cute. madilyn is small too- 3rd percent but my dr just said that one- small babies are more active typically because they have less weight to throw around and two- because they are more active than most kids their age they burn more calories! i love small babies. he is seriously just so cute!
