The Brown House: 5 & 6 Months

Anderson Stats:Hair color: Blond turning brown

Eye color: Very blue
Height: 27 1/2 inches
Weight: 18 pounds According to his Pediatrician...he's perfect...just perfect! I'm sure they teach all doctors to say this in school, but it makes me feel good anyways.
New Tricks: Rolling over all over the place to get to what he wants, sitting on his own after you place him sitting up, swinging in the swing, and putting his knees under his body as if he wants to crawl.
Eating: He is doing great with drinking from a sippy cup! We've replaced one bottle meal with a cup, and he has so far eaten any baby food we have put in front of him.

    Anderson seems to be growing in hyper speed these days. Although it's very exciting to watch him grow, it makes me sad that my baby boy is closer to one then zero. He has been consistently in the 80th percentile for height. Where does he get this height from? For sure not my side...unless there was a hidden gem I don't know about. He is still in the 50th percentile for weight. Looks like little brother will end up being big little brother before we know it.
    The first snow of the year was an enormous one. It was a grand total of 8 inches! As Presley built a snowman, jumped on the trampoline, threw snowballs at Maverick and sled; Anderson hung around dipping his fingers in the snow. He couldn't have been happier. Speaking of happy...this boy smiles. He smiles at anything.   Each week we make our weekly grocery store trip. The check out ladies have gotten to know him by name. He usually gives them a smile then a little giggle. The best is Lana, she will hold up items and call out the names to him as she scans them. He loves it! (Yes, I know them by name...it's the same people....and after two years...I should, right?)
    The last event we did during his 6th month was Easter Bunny pictures. Anderson really had know clue what was going on other then some ladies were encouraging him to smile so he did. Presley on the other hand we had to coach ahead of time, and it was still a fail. My sister thinks we should start saving to pay for her counseling fees for traumatizing her with these character pictures.   Anderson and Presley, we love you, we wouldn't do anything to harm you. Just know what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Even the Easter Bunny.
