Already 6 Months Old!

I can hardly believe our little guy is already 6 months old...time has flown by as it usually does! On the 17th we had Tagney's 6th month check up...no big surprise, he is a BIG boy! He now weighs 20 pounds and is 29 inches long...which puts him close to off the charts in height and about 95% for his weight. His head continues to measure off the charts:)! He enjoys trying to be mobile, but still is just able to roll both ways. He, as many of you know is quite the spitter (more like pucker!) so when he is on his tummy he pukes, and then proceeds to play with it, to say the least it is making this stage in his growth a little more challenging, but hey that's what kids are all about! Tag now is eating solids at least once a day....but for the most part is pretty much content on Mommas milk! He eats rice cereal with some apple sauce mixed in for breakfast, and has surprising enjoyed green peas for dinner!
Tagney is becoming quite the Mommas boy! He still is totally all about his Daddy, loves his Nana, but lately has been all about his Momma! This, as all you Mom's know, is so sweet, but at times is exhausting! I keep telling myself to cherish these moments, because I know the time will come, when I am not the top of his list, and I will be wishing for that exhausting affection!
Tag also loves dogs.....he is in love with our dog Reign, and loves to pull at her ears (as long as Reign tolerates it!) and attempts to chew on her! My sister has a smaller dog, and he loves to watch him run around the house...when Tag sees a dog or a cat for that matter, his little legs start kicking, and he gets all excited!
Another thing I have noticed Tag taking an interest in would be music! He loves to watch American Idol with us....during the talking or commercials...it is almost as if he has no interest in the TV, then when they start singing, he stops what he is doing and will just watch....so precious! Also when we are riding in the car, sometimes Tag will "sing" along with me....which is one of the cutest things I have ever heard!!!
Everyday God has shown me what an incredible blessing Tag has been to our family! At times, being a parent can be overwhelming, and even seem so exhausting, then Tag will do something like sing with me in the car, or give me a huge smile, or dig his little head into my shoulder giving me sweet cuddles, and all the hardships of parenting seem so insignificant and small! What a true blessing from our Lord and Savior!!!
