The Forgotten 3rd Child

Is now eating solids. Is now 6 months. Is now grabbing for things, chewing on them, and throwing them around. Our forgotten third child is becoming less and less of a baby each day. He's been just the easiest, SMILE-fest, happiest little guy we ever could have asked for. I can't tell you how many times Brian will say to me "did you put the baby down to sleep?" and I respond- no he's right there on the other side of the couch or something because he doesn't seem to complain or make a peep! Poor guy gets overlooked in a lot of ways. I took him to the Ped for his 6 months check up and she said "oh, he just has one tooth?" and I said "he DOES?"! Hadn't even noticed...

He sure mixes in with the other kiddos and makes our family complete. Above is the big guy himself with Papa on a birthday celebration.


Maggie got a detailed Baby Book. Keegan's is still empty but I documented it all in this blog. For Connor, I find his stat sheets and shot records mixed amongst my work paperwork and Maggie's drawings. So to make it official, here are the stats:

Stats at 2 months: 14.5 lbs (67th), 26 inches (99th)
4 months: 16.7 lbs (55th), 27.5 inches (98th)
6 months: 18.6 lbs (68th), 29 inches (99th)
Head 60th or so

It's hard to believe that at almost 19 lbs he's only in the 68th for weight. He wears 12-18 month clothing and his feet are already a size 2!


For entertainment I'll set him up on his belly and he likes to talk to that cute baby in the mirror.


We think he'll be a blondie like his older siblings but who knows. Eyes are still blue and he still reminds me of a little Irish elf. We love you little guy, happy half-year birthday!

Oh my gosh he is cute. It's amazing to me how all three of the littlest Mulloy's are so different yet each are so gorgeous and have such awesome personalities. You and Brian do some good gene-mixing, me thinks.
