Happy 1/2 birthday August! Half a year has gone by with our little sweetie! I have to say that it has been the best, most exciting, adventurous 6 months ever! August is growing and developing so fast it is just amazing. I took him for his 6 month check up and everything is looking great except for his weight. He is a little too skinny and not putting on weight like he should. (He's not taking after his mommy on this one). He is 16 lbs. 3.2 ounces which puts him in the 27
th %tile. So, we are having to add rice cereal to his bottles. He doesn't seem to mind it and sucks it right down. Hopefully that will add some calories to his diet and help him gain some weight. We are also pushing solids. He still doesn't like to eat solids very well and we really have to work with him. Silly kid...we found out that he likes organic over Gerber. Go figure. He had sweet potatoes today and gobbled it down! August does have one thing going for him.....his height! He is 29 in. long which puts him in the 99
th %tile!!!! Basketball scholarship in the future??? Our big developmental milestone this month is sitting up! August thinks that it is the greatest thing that he can sit up on his own now! He gets so proud of himself :) He still loves to talk and sing and when Daddy plays the piano August is sure to sing along! His favorite games to play are "Where's August?", "
AHHHH BOO!", and "I'm gonna get you"! It's so great because he just dissolves into giggles! It makes our heart melt to hear his giggles. August went to his first convention this past month, Elizabeth. He did really well but was done by Sunday! Summer has been busy for us and we are hoping to get more camping trips in!

Vroom Vroom! Can this go any faster???
I came home from work one day and this is how I found August. Must have been a
loooong day!
Daddy and his best friend!
I guess watching August is pretty tiring.

Maybe we shouldn't wait so late at night to feed him! He fell asleep between bites.

He's a cutie!! Scout was 31 in. at 1 yr. Maybe we've found her a guy that will actually be taller than our not so dainty lady.
WOW! An update - we have been missing you so much. August is adorable. Please come see us if you head to OR to see Dan and Julianne. Keep up the posts - I thought we had lost you to facebook or something . . .
Wow, August is growing...of course I haven't checked in here in a while. He's looking great...and so cute! Love the dimple!
Take care!
What a little sweetie! If it makes you feel any better about his weight Sally weighed 16 lbs 9 oz at her 15 month appt.....she isn't even on the chart.
