Can you believe how big this kid is?!
I think the day Kobe turned 6 months he decided he would turn into a toddler. Okay, not quite a toddler, but literally that day he started rolling around all over the place, babbling and bubbling, sitting up by himself, eating more solids (including puffs; which are some of his favorites), imitating, kissing and so much more! He's on the verge of some serious scooting too, that will soon become crawling. He loves playing with my hair. He's so sweet about it, twirling it around in his fingers...and then gives it a good yank! Yep, we have a hair-puller amongst us. He does love playing with it though. He has also found a fascination with strings on hoodies. Shaking his head is a recent activity he has developed-- he thinks it's funny if I shake mine, and then he copies me. He loves blowing bubbles, or spitting rather. Anything else, he's just the sweetest and cutest, mild child you'll ever meet!
Kobe had a lot of "firsts" between month 6 and 7, including his first airplane ride that he handled like a champ! He made his first appearance in Southern California. He met his Uncle Devin. He had his first trip to Disneyland, Hollywood, Laguna and Huntington Beach. He met my aunts, uncles and cousins, stayed in a hotel, went in a hot tub, watched his cousin get her ears pierced and went to her baby blessing, went to a pumpkin patch, and then came home to his first Halloween! This kid is living the life and he doesn't even know it. I love exposing him to new things and watching him take in the world around him. It's so interesting and fun to watch him learn and grow. I just love him to the tiniest pieces!

I am absolutely in love with these babies
That beanie.
This is Kobe's favorite toy. It's a rubber Wii remote cover.
Kobe LOVES his baths. His bedtime routine goes as follows: milk, cereal, bath, milk, bed. He knows what's next when he finishes his cereal and he gets so excited. Sitting up and playing with toys in the bath is a new thing. He also loves to splash.
He loves Ranzy.
He also loves Lana.
Seriously, he is just too cute to handle.

This was a Pinterest idea. Reagan wasn't a fan.
Oma
We call this 'reverse planking'...I don't know where he learned this but he started doing it one day and it's hilarious. He does it at the most random times too. He's usually on the ground talking to himself and gets excited and stiffens his little body, legs slightly elevated, and starts breathing like he has asthma, but with a smile on his face. Sometimes he starts laughing at himself after, and then continues to do it. Weird kid.

On Halloween, Lane was out of town so Kobe and I went to Red Robin because Ranzy and Laurel were working. They win best costume award. They dressed up, spot-on, as two of our managers at work. It was freaking hilarious to watch them act like the managers too. If you only knew how awesome they were.
That's about it. I love every month with my little baby. Lane and I are consistently entertained by this lil' one. He brings so much joy into our home. We went on a little date the other day while Laurel watched him, and it was nice to have some alone-time and get out, but we kept talking about Kobe, and eventually wanted to just come home and kiss those cheeks (Kobe's of course--sorry, Laurel). What more can I say?!
