Gauge is Six Months

Gauge has turned 6 months old.

With that has come some excitement for his growth, tears over the realization that he is "getting too big," and some fun new tricks! He is now a "supported sitter" (which Uncle Chase so lovingly pointed out just means that he can "tilt" in a semi-upright position all by himself). He loves solid foods, starting with a taste of virgin pina colada in Mexico (haha) and moving on to sweet corn casserole, sweet potatoes, green beans, and more. Gauge is very in tune with his brothers and loves to make them laugh! He will often watch the funny antics going on around him, smilling, laughing, and squealing as his brothers play. Jax and Ty also love to play with Gauge. Anytime Gauge is on the floor, I can find Jax stopping to talk and play with him. The doctor said he is small for his age (only about 14 lb 10 oz) but healthy and strong, progressing in every way that he should. Dr. Pham chalked the size up to genetics.... whatever that means ;-) 

We love you Gauge! We are so glad you are in our family. Your easy-going attitude and always-smiling face has brought so much joy to our home. mmmmmWAH!
