Kellen is SIX MONTHS OLD!!!

Half a year.  That means he is on the countdown to being a year old, and we are just not ready to accept that!

Stats

• Weight: 14 pounds 13.6 ounces (7th percentile)
• Height: 26 inches (22nd percentile)
• Head: 42.5cm (24th percentile)

Development

• Still such a happy little guy!  He cries when he is hungry, tired, or wants to be held.
• He loves to cuddle.
• He rolls all across the room and even scoots to what he wants.
• He sits with support but not independently yet.  Mostly this is because when you sit him up he sees his feet and immediately tries to eat them which causes him to fall over.
• He gets up on his hands and knees and will stay there for a bit.  He even rocks back and forth sometimes!  No crawling yet, but it's coming quickly!
• Everything still goes in his mouth.  Lately, he has been taking his socks off and trying to eat them.  He also like to reach out and grab my face and attempts to eat my nose.
• Nurses every three hours during the day, and usually once overnight.
• Has baby food three times a day.  So far, he likes everything except bananas.  He LOVES peas.
• He naps two to three times a day.  Twice if they are a decent length, but sometimes his first two naps are short and he needs a power nap before dinner.
• Goes to bed sometime around 8pm and is up for the day around 7 or 7:30am.  He still wakes once, sometimes twice, overnight to eat but is usually good about going back to sleep quickly.  
• Recognizes our faces and gets the biggest smile when he sees us!
• Grabs toys, passes them from hand to hand, and of course puts them in his mouth.
• No teeth yet!

Likes

• The jumperoo and his around we go activity station.
• Going for walks in his stroller.
• Being outside.  He thinks the wind is hilarious (see video at end)
• The zoo.  He was mesmerized by the dolphin show.
• Bathtime
• Eating :)
• His brothers, but especially Braden.  Braden can get Kellen to laugh with almost anything.

Dislikes

• Bananas (Logan does NOT understand how this is possible.)
• The car seat.  He is MUCH better with it than he used to be, but it still falls in the dislike category for now.
