Barret is also becoming quite the mover. If we prop him up on his hands and knees he will sit there and look at us like, "what now?" After a couple minutes he will start to rock back and forth, and eventually his knees slide out and he is back where he started...flat on his belly with his arms stretched out.
Barret is also taking a liking to climbing on anything he can, laundry baskets, feet, couches, chairs, people, you name it, he is climbing it. He has so much fun doing this and I love watching him move around with his big old smile.
His smile is different too. It lasts longer and it is bigger and even better! He has that great gummy smile that I don't ever want to go away, so if his teeth never come in I will be fine with that...
...His eyes get squinty and his cheek bones pop up and his little round face is just the cutest thing in the world! He babbles when he smiles. The babbling baby boy Barret just babbles up a storm. What on earth he is saying I would really like to know because sometimes he just goes on and on and on, like a good story with lots of details. I love his babbling.
Barret's features look a little different too. Because of the formula he is starting to chunk out a little, and you can tell he is a solid little fella. His face is more full and his limbs are not as lanky, don't get me wrong, he still has really long skinny limbs, but they are filled out a little better.
We don't go in for his 6 month appointment until the end of the month, but I did take him in a week ago because he was coughing and sneezing a lot and I thought we better have his ears checked (rather grandma suggested we do this) and he weighed 15lbs 8 oz.!!! At his 4 month appointment he was 14lbs 6oz. I'm not baby expert, but I would say he is gaining weight at a great rate!
Barret is also a bit different in the car. He no longer falls asleep as soon as you turn it on. He LOVES to babble on with us in the car and look out the window, maybe play with Bobba (the elephant strapped to the car seat), and then take a quick glimpse of himself in his mirror just to make sure he still looks his best :)
We are all packed up and heading for Wisconsin this afternoon, as soon as Dad gets home from work. It is going to be a great week and I can't wait for our first vacation as a little family! Our car ride will surely be an interesting one with our little babbling boy in the back seat. Hopefully our 8 hours will go by fast :)
