Matthew is 6 months old!

The pants are a 6/9 and looked like they would fit well based on length. Unfortunately, he couldn't sit up in them because there wasn't enough room for him to bend!

Two very tired boys (check out Matthew's thighs!)

I'm getting... very...

sleepy.

Today is Matthew's half-birthday. He's still quite the chubby bubby. He weighed in at 20 pounds (88th %ile), a mere 11 ounces lighter than Micah's current weight (though that is not Micah's highest recorded weight... he's down almost a pound based on the weight check on Saturday at the pediatrician's office when we were trying to figure out why he's had vomiting and diarrhea for almost 2 weeks now... maybe I'll share more about that kid's medical stuff sometime in the near future).

Anyway, Matthew is 26.5 inches long (59th %ile). So it appears, at least for now, that the poor kid is the unfortunate recipient of my build and not Mark's (Nathan is usually around 25th %ile in weight and 75th %ile in height, more closely resembling his father's build).

Matthew is a super happy baby as long as he's being held. He has this annoyingly loud happy screech. He puts everything in his mouth, which is what most babies do, but I had forgotten that since Micah puts NOTHING in his mouth (including paper, which he loves to play with and I've occasionally forgotten to move out of Matthew's way). Matthew is sitting independently and can flop onto the floor without crashing too hard. He likes to roll around, but hasn't figured out army crawling yet. I'm sure it won't be long.
