I think it's no secret that we have the cutest little baby boy in the whole world. Everyone who sees Nathan falls in love with him! Even Julianna and Blake all the time are saying, Nathan is really cute, Mommy. He just has the cutest personality and is such a busy, active baby! He also cries a lot, as you can see in these pictures. So at his 6 mo. checkup, he weighed 15 lb 7 oz, still 10th percentile, which is really good for him! 27 in in length, 50th percentile. He is getting stronger by the day and is starting to almost get in the crawling position. He can sit up for short periods of time, and can lift himself to sitting from the boppy pillow. He loves to grab hair, especially Joel's and Blake's, and he'll try to grap pretty much anything that's nearby. Joel let him take a drink of juice out of a glass cup the other day, and he was so excited. After he only got a tiny sip, he was mad at us! He has the cutest laugh and biggest smiles, and is very social with everyone around him. His cleft palate repair was supposed to be on June 19th, but it was postponed to July 31st because his surgeon ended up having a family emergency. So we are praying it will happen for sure on the 31st! He has started some solids and so far doesn't like squash, but will tolerate sweet potatoes and carrots, and likes rice cereal/oatmeal the best. It is difficult to feed him with the cleft palate but I'll keep trying until his surgery! We just love Nathan so much.
