Reunan at 6 months

The below was written right after Reunan turned 6 months. Now that he's 7 months, I think I'll post it! Oops!

Reunan's 6 month statistics are pretty impressive:

• Weight: 19 lbs. 3 oz. (80th percentile)


• Height: 26 1/2 inc. (90th percentile)


• Head circumference: 97th percentile - do inches really matter at that point?!

So far, he's remaining a little leaner than his big brother, though neither boy is petite!



The not-so-little guy is determined to grow up quickly! The last few weeks have involved a lot of teething. His bottom two teeth popped through 3 months ago. And now his top two teeth are fully popped through. This evening I noticed that the next set of teeth is just starting to show white through the gums. Basically, we'll have a 7 month old with 6 teeth!

Reunan's stability is only increasing! He loves to sit up and watch Saul. His own toys are not nearly as exciting as Saul's and he very intently says, "oooh, oooh" alot while charging all of his arm and leg muscles and showing us how much he would like to reach everything.

It seems like months ago now....because it was months ago! Shortly before I returned to work, we had a great visit with Jill, Kate and little Max. How fun to have such a great friend with kids so similar in age - and not at all planned, of course!

Saul and Kate running to the park.

Swinging fun.
Tire swing and kiddos.

Back from the park, now time for the sandbox.

And snack/lunch for 3 of the 5 in this picture.

Post sandbox and pre-nap bath time = very happy kiddos.

Max chillin' in the swing. I remember when Reunan was that small in the swing....

Happy kids eating lunch. The power of suggestion with these two was crazy. "I have to go potty." "Me, too!" "I want some milk." "Momma, I'm thirsty. I want some milk." It wasn't that one followed the other in the same order, it was that they both latched on to the idea of whomever suggested it first.
