6 months already!

Well, I can't believe that Gideon is already 6 months. It seems like time has really flown by and my little boy is growing up to quickly. He is already sitting up, rolling over and getting his first job. Alright, maybe not the job yet but that's how fast it feels the time is going. He is starting to get on all fours and rock a bit. I'm definitely NOT ready for a crawler. We had our 6 month doctor appointment last week and he is doing great. Dr. Grimes says he's developing great and he's very healthy. He weighed 20 lbs. 8 oz. and was 26 3/4" long. He's still in the 90th percentiles on both. We sure do have a big boy on our hands. Nathan and I also got him a new car seat last week. Our infant seat only holds up to 22 lbs and as you can see he is right about at the limit. Target had convertible car seats on sale so we went ahead and made the investment. Now he really looks like a little boy sitting in his big boy chair.
Gideon is also outgrowing everything we have. I ordered 320 size 3 diapers a couple weeks ago and, as I should have known, we now need size 4. Now I have to send the size 3's back and hope the 4's get here in time. I just can't seem to keep up with this kid. Clothing is another obstacle. I've had to graduate him up to 12 month clothes. He can still wear a bit of 6-9 months but it's hit and miss. I love that we have such a big, healthy baby.
He is doing pretty well at night. He wakes up maybe once a night because he needs his pacifier. Other than that I can usually sleep for at least 6 hours straight. I can't complain.
Nathan is doing well. He just got called as the Elder's Quorum President and I think he's looking forward to the challenge. He hasn't been in long enough to feel overwhelmed. I on the other hand am already starting to get nervous. I'm still in Young Womens. It has it's challenges but I'm trying to be patient and do what the Lord wants me to. I know I'm there for a reason I'm just not sure what it is yet.
We're all enjoying the spring weather we've been having and have been outside a bit. Gideon loves the outdoors. When he gets a little cranky at night I take him out on the deck and he calms right down. I can't wait until he starts discovering dirt and bugs and such.
