Keepin' Up With the Cooleys: 6 Month Update

Harrison is 6 months old. All I can think is...he's half way to his first birthday! What a joy and blessing he is. This little guy is so in love with his daddy! I can understand why...Jermaine is definitely an awesome dad. Harrison has started getting very excited when I pick him up from daycare, though...it just makes my day.

He would not just lay next to Gator...so this is the best we got!

We usually just lay him in his bed when he's going to sleep. A few nights ago I rocked him until he fell asleep (and much longer after he did). I just love holding my little boy so much... especially when he's still and cuddly. It is the best feeling. In that moment nothing else matters. I am really trying to appreciate and enjoy these sweet times because I know they will fly by and he'll be a big boy soon enough.

The word for this month is LOUD! Buddy boy has got some lungs. Once he realized that he can yell he has not stopped. You can imagine the enjoyment this has brought to the lady who keeps him ALL DAY LONG!! haha...sorry Nancy :)

Little man started sitting up and rolling over with ease. (Changing diapers has become quite the task!) He had his second ear infection and first cold all in the same month! Poor guy. He is still an overall happy baby even when he's sick.

cute duck on his booty...thanks Mrs. Michelle!

Harrison has started eating veggies. He's done pretty well. I'm hoping he will enjoy a wide variety of food. He's had carrots, green beans, and squash so far. We are preparing these ourselves. Any moms or soon-to-be moms who are considering making your own baby food....do it!! It could not be easier, saves money, and you know what your child is eating. All we do is steam the veggies, puree them in the blender, and pour into containers.
