The Hardwick Family: 6 Months Old!

My big boy is 6 Months Old!

My oh my where does the time go?

Grayson is getting bigger by the minute and now that he is officially six months old,

I feel like he’s turning into a little boy, rather than my little baby.

Ok, I've never really had a little baby.

Here a few things Grayson has been up to lately.

+ Rolling and rolling everywhere he wants to go.

+ He can sit up with support and sometimes on his own.

+ He loves playing with toys now. He presses the buttons to hear the sounds and of course, everything goes in his mouth

+ Grayson is eating like a champ! Besides bottles, he eats a fruit with oatmeal in the morning and veggies for lunch and dinner. We just started introducing meat this week. His pediatrician suggested it.

+ He weighs 24 pounds and is 31 inches long. He lost weight since his last checkup, but the doc is concerned about his weight. :( Grayson is on a diet!

+ The amount smiles and laughter that come out of this boy are unreal. He really is such a happy baby. Of course, we have our share of the grumps too.

+ Sometimes he wakes up once during the night because of diaper overload! We have tried many different nighttime diapers. It's crazy how heavy those things can get. If he does wake up, we just change him and put him back down. He gets up around 7am now. No more sleeping in for Mommy. He goes to bed earlier though, which mean Mommy and Daddy go to bed earlier too!

+ He’s at the age now where it’s fun and pretty easy to bring him places. He's very observant, taking in all the sights and sounds. He's also a huge flirt

+ Overall, he is so sweet and so much fun.

Here are some cute pics from this month:

Visiting with Memaw. She was cracking him up!

Grayson and Noel hung out at Mt. Trashmore.

We visited Hunt Club Farm and picked a pumpkin from the patch!

Papa Jim and Grandma Leta came to visit last week. And yes, Grayson is wearing a Christmas sleeper in October. He will be too big for it at Christmas :(
