6 months!

So we went to Coleson's 6 month check up today. He is 17lbs (gettin chunky!), and 27 inches long. His head is still only in the 10th percentile, haha, sorry buddy, you got my small peanut head! He got his shots like a champ. We gave him his first baby food, sweet potatoes... He wasn't so sure about them at first, but towards the end he decided they were alright.

Evolution of Coleson

 So here is a major update... Being in labor is awesome! (I know I'm crazy). I got induced a week after my due date. I didn't get pitocin, so I got to eat during the whole thing. I got the pill at 2pm. Courtnee, Eric and I ate Panda Express and watched Bride Wars. Around 3:30pm contractions started, I had one that lasted 8 minutes but I didn't feel it, Coleson's heart rate went down, so they put me on oxygen. After that massive one they started coming on every minute, with no break in between, that was a little uncomfortable. I got the epidural at 5:30pm and at 6:15 I was a 10 and my water still hadn't broken, so they broke it, I pushed for 10 minutes and Coleson was born at 6:51.
 He was 7 lbs 5 oz, and 18.5 inches, on the smaller side for being a week late. At his 2 week appointment he had already gained a pound and a half and grown an inch and a half.

 Headed to the LA Zoo with my favorite boys


 Watching some basketball with Dad
 Aunt Courtnee is teaching me young to like soda (don't worry, no soda was actually involved)
 He was most interested in the bow on his Easter basket than what was inside
 Grandma has a huge sink and Coleson loves to splash in it, he got banned from the sink that very night
Driving to CA, he was so good the whole time.
I am so lucky to have such a good boy. He rarely cries, and is always happy. He is super mellow and just goes with the flow of whatever is going on around him. And yes, his hair went from almost black to light brown. Love you bug!

Happenings as of late...

We are ready for summer to be here! Coleson is 6 months old now and growing so much every day. He rolling over to get to his toys, doesn't want to be rocked to sleep anymore, and loves to play with other kids. He loves to go on walks and be outside. His favorite person to play with is his Dad. He loves to watch basketball and TV in general. We are excited to spend lots of time with family and friends this summer and go on some great vacations!
