Here are a few things that we want to remember about McCoy:
1. He has become so observant. He looks around at everything and just takes it all in. Sometimes it's hard for me to get his attention because something else has caught his eye.
2. He loves to be tickled on his belly and under his arms! He raises his arms over his head and laughs so hard! I love hearing his adorable laugh! I can't believe we haven't gotten it on video yet but as soon as we do I will post it.
3. When you lay him on his stomach, he immediately rolls over onto his back. He hates being on his stomach.
4. He loves his vegetables, oatmeal cereal, bananas in his fresh food feeder, and Mum Mums! Dinnertime is so much fun!
5. He likes to make toot noises and blow raspberries. He thinks this is so funny! He especially likes it when you do it back to him. The other night at dinner, every time I put some food in his mouth he would blow so you can imagine the HUGE mess we had!
6. He is getting closer to reaching for people. If he's in his activity center and he wants out, he will raise his arms to the side for you to pick him up. I love when he does this so I'm going to be very excited when he actually reaches for me!
7. He grabs for everything! He loves to grab onto my earrings and hair. We can no longer hold him in our laps while we eat because he tries to grab plates and cups too.
8. When he's taking a bottle and getting drowsy he likes to reach is hand up and stick it on your mouth, especially if you're talking. I'm guessing he wants me to be quiet...
9. He loves to sit up but does not like to fall back! I don't know if it scares him or if it really hurts but I feel awful for him. I've learned my lesson to start putting a pillow behind him!
10. He loves Sophie! Whenever she walks by or comes near him, he tries to grab her. If she licks him, he smiles really big!
11. He goes to bed around 7:30 and wakes up at 6:00 or 7:00. Preferably 7:00...but mostly 6:00!
12. I think his favorite color is blue!! I know you probably think I'm crazy but we were playing with some toys today and I kept giving him options of red, green, blue, yellow, or purple and no matter what hand it was in or what color it was with, he chose blue. I also noticed that he preferred red over green!! I'll let you know in a few years if this is for real!
Playing with his blue toy!
I know that there are a ton more things I could write down. I'm probably going to keep thinking of them so I will add as I remember!
Kirk and I are having so much fun with him and are loving how much his personality has popped out! We are so blessed to have such a happy, laid-back little boy! We can not get enough of him!! We love you, McCoy!!
Tomorrow is his six month check-up so I'll fill you in on his percentiles!

Look at how big he is getting! I love reading your blog and when you talk about all the things you love about McCoy. It's like a sneak peak into what our life might be like next year!
Great post! Can't wait to hear how Dr apt goes!
It seems like way more than a week and a half since we were there. We miss him so much. We love you McCoy---our special little boy! Can't believe you are already six months old. See you in 2 weeks or a little less. Happy Six months---we love and adore you! Gigi and Pop
I can't believe he is six months and sitting up! Wow! Time flies when you are a baby!
Happy six month birthday McCoy!! He is so precious!! It probably won't be long and he'll be crawling around everywhere! I love that he makes tooting noises already, that is one of Tayson's favorite things to do!!
You will love every stage and age, I promise! It only gets better.
Happy six months, McCoy!! I think I first started reading your blog right before you had him and I remember the first "frog pic" with him...he has grown so much so then!! What a cutie!
Oh McCoy you are so cute and keep getting cuter every day. I can't wait to see your for real in early June. I will be coming up with Morgan for football camp. Hope to see you then for a nice long visit.
Love you mucho.

These are great things to remember. That's why I love blogging!! It's a great way to remember all of the little things that really add up to be BIG things!!
Happy 1/2 Birthday!
What an absolute doll! You are so good to write down all those things you want to remember. I'm the same as you, ever stage is my favorite! Zayde used to stick his fingers in my mouth, too while I nursed him. It was so sweet!
