Happy 1/2 years old!!!!

On the Fourth of July Jace turned a whopping 1/2!!!! Mommy has attempted to get people to observe/celebrate her 1/2 birthday for many, many years now without much luck. Maybe with Jace's falling on a holiday, those in his life will be more likely to REMEMBER!
Jace's first 6 months have brought so many changes!!! He has gone from a tiny (not really tiny) baby to somewhat of a little boy. He continues to grow and change every day! Some of his favorite things these days include swinging, being in the water, watching trees blow, sneezing (it guarantees a laugh from him), Ozzy, having undivided attention from just about anyone, eating, being tickled, and sleeping in the jogger stroller while Mommy and Ozzy huff and puff. There really isn't much Jace doesn't like--he is so much fun to have around--we often wonder how we got so lucky to be his Mommy and Daddy.
Jace also had his 6-month checkup and as in previous times we found out he is GROWING!!! These were his stats:
Weight 16.94 lbs--40th percentile----if we would have left that full diaper on him he probably would have made 17 lbs!!
Height 27 3/4 inches--85th percentile---Go Jace Go!!! Do it for Mommy!!!
Head circumference????--45th percentile---this has been increasing since the divot on the back of his head is popping out! :)

Look how Mommy's little man has grown!!!!
Going home from the hospital---

6 months old-----


And in other big boy news----
Jace REALLY wants to crawl. The obstacle is that he just isn't strong enough quite yet. He is able to rock back and forth which is plenty for Mommy right now!!

Jace's new 'big boy' bath---just like Maveric and Keenan's

Jace's new 'big boy swing---just like Maveric and Keenan's--yes we see a pattern here!


Here's to 6 more months of fun!!!!!!
