6 months

Since Dax is now 6 months old, this requires another blog post.
He is 16.88 lbs which is the 38%
He is 27.5 inches which is the 84%
His head is 16.9 inches which is the 28%
So pretty much, he's a long skinny boy. Hopefully he'll be a tall kid. It's hard to believe he's only in the 38% when you see his little tubby belly. So cute! Can you see how tight the pajamas are on his forearms?
Dax got his first haircut a couple weeks ago. He didn't have a ton of hair, but he had some nasty long hairs. When I pushed it forward, he would have these 2 long bangs. Not attractive at all. I love his snotty nose and gaping mouth.

I tried to make a cool mohawk before we cut it, but it just curled and it looked like we were trying to make him a girl. Not a good look.

Dax loves his bath time is starting to figure out how to sit in his little tub without tipping over. I love him wrapped up in a towel. He was smiling and as soon as I get the camera out, the stunned look is all I get.

Toes were a new discovery this month. The best part about toes is that they go in the mouth. Wouldn't it be nice to still be that flexible? Dax would be in heaven if he could put EVERYTHING in his mouth.

I love waking him up from naps because I get to see the crazy ways he sleeps. He loves falling asleep with his silky blanket on his face and I found him like this one afternoon. I love that it's perfectly positioned over his face.

He's been sleeping on his side which makes him seem so grown up to me.
My parents got back from Europe Saturday night so we got the family together on Sunday to visit and hang out. I think they were only gone 3 weeks, but it felt like much longer, since I usually talk to my mom every few days. It was fun to hang out together before Linds and Tyler take off for Europe. All this traveling is making me want to go to Europe. Someday.
Dax was a great little card player and made a great asset to Lindsey's team.
We'll have to turn him into a professional card holder.
I love that he's growing up and learning how to do new things. Everyday is a new experience where he learns something new. He is so much fun and such a happy kid. Now I just need to figure out how to get him to smile for pictures.

hey girl he is so cute! Reading his 6 month stats I was weirded out because I just took RYder in who is the same age and he is almost the exact same in every category! Long and skinny is how the described him but like you said I look at his chub and wonder how that qualifies as skinny! crazy! This age really is so fun. And it only gets more fun the older they get! minus the teething part :)
