6 MONTHS

We celebrated Campbell turning half a year old by having a little 

Very-Merry-Unbirthday Party.

Why not right?!

It was sweet and simple. 

I am happy to celebrate having my sweet baby any chance I get. 

Everyone that came wrote in his journal. 

He will love it someday. 

{I also take his journal when we travel and have whomever is with us write him a little something... stole the idea from my sister-in-law Dawne}

I made 1/2 a cookie cake & fruits tarts for the party goers. 

Campbell enjoyed his first popsicle. 

I just froze a jar of baby food... healthy and easy for me.

{they may or may not have just been mooned by a sweet little redheaded baby..}

For the record:

-He has gotten so much better at eating and playing with he toys in the last month. He's a little like a ravenous beast!

-He is sitting up like a champ. I still keep the bope around him for the occasional tumble when he gets tired, & because he doesn't try to catch himself yet.

-He held his bottle for the first time while we were in Phoenix. If he thinks he is starving, he'll pull it to his mouth and hold it for a while. Mostly he just wants us to do it for him though... & I'm totally happy with that!

-He is very picky when it is time to sleep. Which is good and bad. When we are home and can do our whole routine it works perfectly... but when we're not, we fight with each other a little bit. 

-He is all boy! Proof:

• He love's to be startled. This is how we can get him to laugh the hardest. Popping around the corning and yelling {"BOO", "I'm gonna get you"... pretty much anything) has never been so fun. 
• He is totally content being messy. I am pretty sure he rubs his food all over his face, hair, and belly just because it feels better to him that way :)
• He is LOUD. This boy has a set of pipes and he is happy to let everyone know how well he can use them.

• He is always moving. Those legs never stop kicking... usually both at the same time. And his arms are always swinging too. 
• If startling doesn't get a laugh... making a farting noise with your mouth is sure to!

A few things I hope I always remember about my Camster at 6 months:

-The way he kicks in anticipation whenever I go get him out of his crib. I hope he is always so excited to see me in the morning :)

-How he reaches up to touch my face when he is eating or ready for bed. 

-The look in his eyes when he sees me. I think I have the very same look in my eyes when I see him too.  

-His crooked smirk... just like his dad. 

-His deep belly laugh. It's contagious!

Stats:

weight: 16 pounds 4 ounces (29%)

height: 25.5 inches (20%)

head: 43 centimeters (30%)

Still little ... but I wouldn't have him any other way. 

He is perfect!
