Six Months Old

Well, I can't believe it's already here, but Colton Cash Ranney is 6 months old! Holy cow!!!

We went to the doctor for his check up today and here are the stats:

Weight: 21 lbs. (95%)

Height: 27 in. (80%)

Hat size: 45.6 cm. (90%)

To say the least, he's not a premie anymore! He checked out completely healthy! Thank God! There are no signs of heart or lung issues which is such a blessing. He was really funny at the doctor's office. He was very chatty and sweet while the doctor was checking all of his parts out. When the doctor was wrapping up our appointment, CCR was lying on his back on the table. He looked over at me and gave me the saddest pouty face ever! I think he knew what was coming (vaccinations) and was hoping I would rescue him ahead of the agony...poor guy!

These pictures were taking last night during dinner on his half year birthday...enjoy!

Playin' around the house...

I was about to take a laundry basket of CCR's clothes/blankets to his room, as well as take him to change his diaper...so I thought I'd take both at the same time...he looked so cute in there...too funny!

The picture below is one of the first pictures we took right after his haircut bath...what a face! It is so hard to capture his smiles without a second person around to keep the smiles coming...he doesn't think the black box (camera) is very funny or playful.

CCR's First Haircut

CCR has had some lingering cradle cap issues so we decided it might be beneficial for the breathability of his scalp to buzz his hair...For those who may not know, CCR was born with quite a bit of hair...over the past months the portion of hair from ear to ear equi-distant from his forehead to the back of his neck has been replaced with big boy hair...his bangs are still his newborn hairs and at the base of his neck is still newborn hair...but the rest is so incredibly soft and light. Well, there's a big difference between his natural hair and his buzz cut. See for yourself:








I just love it! I think he looks like a little (well not so little anymore) man...and not like a baby anymore...what a cutie!!! I know I'm biased...
