Baby talk!
And he's found his voice! "Ga ga", and as you can tell from this video, "da da" and "ba ba". :)

February 2013- 6 months old!
6 months old! Half a year! He's such a big boy. :)
Observations:
~KU had a 3 game losing streak!
~We went in for Colin's 6 month photo session. He was sleep, but we got some good shots!
~He tried his first food, avocado, on Feb. 11!
~We used the stroller for the first time without the carseat. He liked the new view!
~Watched as a Pope, for the 1st time since the 1400's, resigned!
~We saw all the grandparents this month, multiple times (we love being so close! :) )
~Colin is now a belly sleeper! We put him down on his back, and he inevitably rolls over.
~He started consistently rolling both ways on Feb. 15th!
~We started using his high chair!
~We still attend Baby Rhyme Time every Monday, and Zumba every Tuesday/Thursday.
~The "Blizzard of Oz" hit KS! We didn't get the 2nd round, but there was a bunch of snow from the first storm!
~Daddy is officially accepted to K-State!
~He's been sitting up really well!
~We celebrated Grandma and Grandpa's wedding reception, and visited with aunts and uncles!
Mealtimes:
This month Colin tried real food for the first time! So far he's tasted and liked avocado, apple, butternut squash, sweet potato, and banana. He loves sitting in his high chair and playing! Sometimes we let him feed himself, which is messy and hilarious! We try to feed him in the morning, and then dinner with us, but he goes to bed so early that it's hard for us to eat before he goes down.
He still eats about 6 ounces of formula every 3 hours during the day (about 5 bottles). There have been a few times he's woken up so hungry that he's downed 8 oz!
Schedule:
His bedtime continues to be about 6:30 pm and he'll usually sleep until between 4:30am and 5:45, eat, then go back to sleep for a few more hours. Once he wakes up, we play, eat, he jumps in his jumper, and he'll usually nap about 2 hours after he woke up. His morning nap is about an hour. Sometimes we go to a playgroup to story time at the library. His afternoon nap is about 3 hours after he woke up from his morning nap, and usually lasts about an hour and a half- 2 hours.
Size:
Weight: 16.6 pounds (28th%) Length: 26.7 inches (62nd %) Head: 17.7 inches (81st %)
Play:
He's loving his Baby Einstein jumper we bought second-hand from a Little Apple Mommy! He's pretty much over his swing, but will go in it a few times a week. He still loves Sophie and pretty much anything he can get in his mouth. Rolling over and puffing out his tummy are how he gets his exercise!
Nicknames:
Stinker, Stinker Bug, Bug, Lil C, Angel, and combinations of these...is this child going to know his real name!?
Mommy& Daddy:
We love being parents, and are enjoying every minute of this little guy!
