Austin Grant Todd's 6 month photo shoot

Our little Austin is 6 months old! Well he has been for a couple of weeks, but we're slow moving these days.

Let's see, he is 13 lbs, 8 oz and 24.5 in. He's a teeny little thing :)

He can't sleep more than 5 hours at a time just yet, and he really likes to sleep on mommy's chest.

He loves his exersaucer and his sissy. Oh how he loves his big sissy! He lights up whenever she comes around.

He's trying to crawl, but not yet going anywhere.

He's still not too sure about food, but is now eating green beans (which he hates), sweet peas, and squash.

He's our handsome boy and we just love him to pieces!

A picture of his "backwards crawl". He can really go far with this.

And today he had his first official/unofficial haircut!! *Unofficial b/c Mommy and Daddy forgot to keep his lock of hair. Oops.

Before

And After!

Yes we cut off his curl, but it's short enough to spike up in a better mohawk!

Say hello to my early birthday present from Nana! It is a movement and sound monitor. In other words, it slides under Austin's mattress and monitors his breathing. If there is no movement for 20 seconds an alarm goes off. And you better believe I tested this thing like crazy. He can now sleep on his tummy, which is a big No-No these days in relation with SIDS. I'm still a bit nervous, but I have seen that the monitor does work. So hopefully I will be sleeping much better these days. Much of my insomnia was due to my fear of SIDS. If I was awake and watching Austin breathe, then I would be able to know if he stopped. So I've missed a lot of sleep, partly because of this.
