Brayden had his 6 month check up lastweek. Hes 25 1/2 lbs and 30 1/4 inches long. I cant believe how fast time is going. I sit and think about my pregnancy and how I thought it was never going to end....it seemed like it took FOREVER for him to get here. Now I look back on the last 6 months and it seems like I turned my head for a min and hes no longer a baby. Its sad when you think about how fast life is going and how your never going to get this time back so Im trying to make the most of it while I can. I take pictures just about everyday...he doesnt really like the camera but thats ok atleast I'll have something to look back on. Hes getting to be such a big boy. He can crawl and sit unassisted (even though he tips over sometimes),  and he can also go from crawling to sitting and from sitting to crawling. Hes eating between 1 and 2 jars of food at lunch time and we recently started giving him cereal mixed with a fruit or veg right before his bedtime routine. We also just introduced a sippy cup (the doctor recommended it at his 6 month check up) he'll take it and play with it and he knows how to get in in his mouth but he cant figure out how to tip it up to get the stuff to come out. Im so proud of him!!! It seems like hes learning things very very quickly. He is so rotten!!!! You can just see the determination in his little eyes. He was playing on the floor the other day and there was a dryer sheet under the edge of our table and he saw it so I watched too see what he was going to do. He was sitting and immediatly after he saw it he took off crawling towards it...when he gets to it and tries grabbing it he couldnt reach it...so he crawls a little further still couldnt get to it. He finally got to it and it was stuck under the edge of the table so when he grabbed it it still didnt come out. So he tried again and it still didnt come out, by this time he was getting mad at it so he started yelling at it. LOL Finally I got up and got it and threw it away. I felt bad because he was so determined to get it but he eventually found something else to get into. LoL. I think its funny how you pick everything up that they arent supposed to have and they will find the one thing you forgot to pick up.

We already had to lower his crib to the next lowest setting because hes trying to pull himself up already and I was afraid he would flip himself out of it and get hurt.

I had my appointment with the nutritionist last week also.  He gave me a b12 shot to help with energy and he put me on a pill to help with hunger cravings. I started the pill this Sat and I've already lost 3lbs. 3lbs in 2 days isnt bad! I hope it keeps coming off at that rate...I know it probably wont but its ok to wish. Well hope everyone is doing ok. Big Hugs!!! Monica.
