We Grow 'Em Big

This morning we went to Drew's 6 month check-up. He is in the 90th percentile for weight, height, and his head. He is 21 lbs., 28 inches long, and his head is 18 1/2 inches in circumference. It never fails, the first thing everyone says to me is, "Wow, he's a big baby." Yep, try carrying him around everywhere in his car seat. Especially though airport security and down a neverending airport terminal (Why is Southwest always at the VERY END?)

We haven't ever had tiny babies in my family, so he is just normal to me!! Plus I love all of the chub, and I could kiss it all day long. Actually, I do kiss him all day long. I have to get all of the kisses in that I can while he lets me.

I haven't ever really posted on what Drew is doing now. So here goes:

-he loves to spit and always has a slobbery chin
-with the spitting also comes making the cutest noises
-he can roll over both ways, but usually gets his arm stuck behind him going from front to back
-he can sit up for long periods of time by himself now
-his favorite toys are, of course, the remote and cell phones when he can get his hands on them
-he loves his Mommy
-he loves Kayden, will always smile for him, and thinks he is the funniest person. And Kayden is the only person Drew will do a real laugh for.

-he loves Dad, but only if Mom is not around
-he is a feet person, he always has to have his feet on you
-he always has something in his mouth chomping on it (Kayden wasn't like this where he always wanted to be chewing on something)
-he loves hair and will reach for it while he is trying to fall asleep (another thing Kayden didn't do-pull hair)
-he loves to smile, and will smile at anyone who talks to him
-he loves taking baths and gets excited when we turn on the water in the tub
-he waves his arms up and down when he is excited
-he has Steve's hair (it is already sticking up)

Overall, he is just a really happy, really chubby baby!

I feel bad not giving a list about Kayden, but his birthday is in a few months so his time will come.

We can't get enough of him! And, since he is only 6 pounds lighter than Sam, I will stop worrying about him getting squished. :) Abi can't wait until tomorrow.

love the pics. We love big babies, Jackson was and is the same way. He is still in the 90th percentile height and weight. He is 5 and about the size of a 6 or 7 year old. Good times.
