Our little Gerber Baby

Nathan is such a doll.  I couldn't ask for a "better" baby...happy, healthy, the best sleeper I've experienced so far, and super, super cute!  He turned six months on April 4th and got his first tooth about two weeks later (right on schedule).  He loves baby food, goes crazy for a drink of water from a cup, and likes to taste everything that comes within his reach.  He's very ticklish, even sometimes bursting into laughter as I change his clothes or unfasten his diaper.  He adores his brothers, and even if he's crying for hunger or fatigue, their smiling faces can cheer him up.  He loves his binky, fingers, fist, and thumb, and he's very content!  He's extremely easy to soothe...usually he doesn't even cry unless he's very tired or hungry, or we reach the evening bewitching hour when, as long as you're holding him and he has his binky, he's perfectly calm.  At six months, he weighs 19.5 pounds, is in the 85th percentile on height, weight, and head circumference, and was described by his doctor as a perfect little Gerber Baby.



Did I mention he's the spitting image of his older brothers?

He is soo cute! I am so excited to get all these babies together at the Reunion. Mine, yours, EMilie's, and Danielle's are so close in age--it will be so fun. I, too, feel like our fourth child is such a sweetie and a content baby. I am so grateful. Kimberly doesn't cry much, just moans, occasionally.

Aw, what a little cutie. How nice that he has three older brothers to help with smiling faces when he's sad. :) It's my theory that the fourth baby doesn't have time to be sad with so much action going on. ;)
