Nixon is 6 Months!

Nixon turned 6 months last week on the 11th and I still can't believe it.
He is getting so big and handsome and we love him so much, he has truly been such a good baby I can't complain one bit. We went to the doctor and here are his stats:
Weight: 19.1 pounds
70th percentile
Height: 28 inches
87th percentile
Head Circumference: 18.5 inches
97th percentile
So as you can see he is growing big and doing well. We all knew Nixon would have a big head because he is so smart........ and maybe because me and Jon have big heads too. Just to give you an idea, Jon's neck is 18.5 inches as well... crazy to think about!
Nixon's new things this month are rolling, rolling, rolling until he gets stuck and then rolls the other way. He is a pretty good mover. He has started eating vegetables too, and likes them a lot. He got a tooth also last Friday and it is so cute to see that little grin with a little tooth. We were happy to see it come in after much teething. He loves to go on walks and grab at the dogs. He loves the sound of his voice too and when we are listening to music he likes to sing along... of course I have tried to get a video but all he wants to do with the camera is grab and eat it when he sees me pull it out.

We took the dogs to the dog park near our house last week and had a lot of fun. We can actually walk over from our house, it's nice. It was a beautiful day and Nixon looked so super cute of course!
Who's cute kid is that?

Watching the dogs play at the park.
Just recently Nixon has learned to roll over in his crib... I hear him crying and I walk in there and this is what I see. He thinks he is so funny. He moves everywhere in that crib now and when we come to get him he is always in a different spot of the crib than when we put him down.

Naked boy...... whenever Nixon is being extra difficult I can always just take his clothes off and set him on a blanket and he is instantly happy. Must be a boy thing.... happiest when they are naked!

That is the cutest little outfit and hat I have ever seen. Man Nixon sure looks like Jon. I can't believe he is 6 months old already. I love that he likes to be naked. That is the opposite of Evelyn, so your right, it must be a boy thing!
