Ah, the half year mark! Time has passed far too quickly with this fellow. I don't think I'd mind reliving these precious months over and over again.
Growth-wise, I don't know for sure because his appointment isn't until he turns seven months old... But I'm pretty sure he's still on the lower end of the curve for most measurements. He's such a tiny guy. Just enough padding to him to know he's not starved. It makes it a little easier to tote him around everywhere and brothers to help.

If we ever questioned if he was a momma's boy, there is NO doubt left. Garrison is convinced he'll never get to bond with this kid because he just wants only mom. I get that he's just a baby, so it's normal... but it's a little much.
Last week he had trouble sleeping at night. Early in the AM, after a couple hours of tending to him, I was exhausted and finally passed the baton to Garrison. Peter screamed in his arms for an hour straight without pause, and stopped the very second I walked back into the room to rescue Daddy. Two minutes later he was asleep in my arms without a peep.
That's usually how it goes. The second he hears my voice or sees me in the same room, everything else in the world must come to a halt and he has to be in Mom's arms...
He loves peek-a-boo and watching his brothers. I think he mostly loves to rest his head on me though.
Some fun milestones:
-He does okay at sitting. It's still an emerging skill. He just prefers to stand or roll around wherever he wants.
-The ratio of rolling/army crawling to crawling gets smaller each day. Any day now, it'll click for him, and he won't even look back. WATCH OUT WORLD.
When he officially turned six months I realized I needed to quit being lazy and get him started on the solids. I had ONE bag of non-formula milk in the freezer to use for the first couple days of cereal, but he hasn't touched cereal since because he HATES formula and that's all there is left to mix in. BUT he devours his fruits and veggies with his little body so excited for the next bite.
Naps are not this boy's strength. It's just his age though. Hopefully he follow his brother's patterns and transition to an awesome sleeper soon.
And he does NOT like to be tickled. When we tickle him his eyebrows get so serious and he squawks super loud at us. Which means we don't tickle him for laughs, we tickle him for his funny reactions. We're mean like that.
Peter is SO fun and we just love him to pieces. He's adored by everyone in our family, and I think that's understating it.
