Bretty at 6 months

My sweet baby is 6 months old!

6 months is my favorite baby age.  They smile all the time, they are pretty content most of the time and they are just so stinking cute!  I took Brett in for his well check up and he was 19 lbs 5 oz. No wonder my back hurts!  He's in the 75 percentile for height too.  Stock and Brett are my biggest babies by far which is good because they have to be tough with older brothers.

 
Brett is starting to like to be on the floor and he rolls to his tummy every time.  Then he gets suck there and gets mad.  He loves being able to move though.  He's my only kid that has rolled like that.

I finally started him on rice cereal.  He was only like 5 1/2 months before I tried- I am just not on the ball with stuff like that anymore.  I was so excited to see that he LOVES it!  Stock and Blake hated it and refused to eat it.  He was doing really good with it until one night about two hours after he ate and started violently throwing up for about two hours.  His temp drops and he throw's up every 5 minutes until he dry heaves and turns purple.  Pardon my words here but it's two hours of hell.  Then he fall's asleep for a few hours then wakes up really hungry and is fine.  I thought it was a stomach bug until the next week when I tried his rice cereal again and he did the exact same thing.  His dr. seems to think he is allergic to the formula most likely the milk in it.  So it seems my baby may be allergic to milk!  I'm going to try a few things to try to figure out what is really going on and I hope whatever it is he can grow out of.  I just told Bryan tonight what do you do when your kids is like 2 and you pull ice cream out for the kids and he can't have any.  That means we would have to pull that stuff out of our house too.  I hope we get this figured out!

I'm trying to get Bretty to sit up on his own but he still is really tipsy.

He was my little pumpkin this year for halloween.  I mean come on, what else can a baby be then a pumpkin?  He was just way to cute.  Ty wore this costume too but was older at the time.  

He is starting to become more of a daddy's boy.  He kicks and gets really excited when Bryan comes home.

If anything gets by his face, toys, his feet, me, he tries to grab it and stick it in his mouth.  I think it's funny when babies are sucking on their toes.

What baby doesn't love tub time?  He knows when I'm getting his bath ready and starts kicking and being all excited.  He is too big for the baby tub now though so I need to retire it.

Brett really is the best natured little guy.  He still has his overactive tear duct that we will have to get checked out soon if it doesn't get better which might mean surgery. What is it with my kids?  Everyone of them has little problems all the time.  I do feel very blessed about how healthy they all are- milk allergies and all!
