Jensen @ 6 Months

(I have misplaced my camera so this is most recent picture of him from our library reading program party about 3 weeks before he was 6 months old!)

SIX MONTHS - where has the time gone? I can hardly believe that it has been that long already- I feel like I should still have a newborn!

He is growing like a weed! He weighed in at his six month appointment at 19 pounds and 8 ounces. To put that into perspective my four year old weighs 23 pounds. He is 28 and half inches long and is in the 97% across the board. He is one big boy and I am feeling it every time I lift his car seat into the car.

He has brought such happiness to our home. I love that kiddo. He is just the happiest and most content little one I have seen. He loves his sisters to pieces and they love him. It is funny with the birth of each child it seems like they fit right into place and I can't remember what it was like to not have them a part of our family. The same is true with my Jensen. I can't put into words how I feel about him and what he has brought to our family. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father has given me such beautiful, wonderful and sweet spirited children.

Some fun facts about Jensen:

• his pediatrician says "he's not obese, just fat"
• wearing 9-12 month clothes has been since June!
• Julia can make him laugh so hard by just looking at him funny
• he is a mommas boy- and momma is loving it!
• he continues to nurse like crazy every three hours and is taking no interest in baby food.
• We were at the pool enough this summer that he got a baby tan- pull open his rolls and you'll find they are pretty white inside!
• he just rolled over to his belly but prefers lying on his side.
• when he gets tired he can't close his mouth- it is just too much work to pull those cheeks up when your tired.
• he is number one little boy in the Water's house.

Eve and Anna took a computer movie class this summer. Eve did hers on Jensen here is a little clip from it! He has since added on two more rolls onto those thighs!
