Brice crawls!

Watch out world, he is on the move!

Brice's 6 month doctor's appointment

Last Thursday I took Brice in for his 6 month appointment. It was happily uneventful.

Brice weighed in at 17lbs 9oz (~53th percentile) and 27 3/4 inches long (85th percentile).

He got his 6 months shots, plus his flu shot. There were real tears, but they let up before the nurse even left the room.

But mostly we played, he smiled at the mirror, and he tore up the paper on the table.

The doctor said he is happy and growing well. What else could a mama want?

The brothers Lamont...

When I told people that baby #2 was a boy, I always said I was excited because the boys would be best friends. But I really had no idea how special the relationship they share would be, or how amazing it would be to witness, even at 6 months.

Brice and Chase share so many smiles. Which is great, because they both have such beautiful ones!

 

We tell Chase how much Brice looks up to him and what a good big brother he is. He proves it.

Chase loves to hug Brice, and although it looks rough, Brice's smile assures us that he loves hugging his brother too!

Brice is learning to grab things so Chase's hair often winds up caught in a Brice death-grip. Chase is so patient and laughs (rather than getting mad) when this happens.

I love catching moments when Chase is sweet to Brice-- handing him a toy, or giving him a kiss. Sometimes I'll peak around the corner from the kitchen and see them playing together...and my heart is so full it feels like it might burst.

 

I'm sure their relationship will change as they grow and there will probably be a fair bit of fighting and wrestling. They wouldn't be brothers without it.... For now I'm enjoying as many of these sweet moments as I can get.

 

I love these boys so much and I love that they love each other too.
