Asher turned 6 months old on the 8th and at his doctor's appointment on Friday he was 21.2 lbs and 29 inches (yes, both are over 100th percentile). For comparison, at this age, Reese was 27.5 inches and 20.4 lbs. I celebrated Asher's half year milestone with my first 10k in a long time at the Governor's Cup here in Helena and managed to run it under 57 minutes. 5 years ago that would have been a disappointment but given how little I've been running (and sleeping) I was pretty proud of myself. It was a gorgeous day for running and it felt good to just run.
Both of the kids are fighting a cough so none of us have been getting much sleep. We were able to get some smiles, however, with a few BBQs at Val's house in the last week to celebrate Andrew, Steve and Kaitlyn's birthdays.

We've started to supplement my milk with formula (since I can't seem to keep up with our growing boy) but Asher's tummy isn't taking too well to the formula yet. So this is Asher saying
"Grandma, why are you making me wear this PINK shirt?" The answer is, of course, because this was the 3rd backup outfit we brought (he had already gone through his two and now had to borrow from Reese's stash). What you don't see is that Mom was also on her 3rd outfit for which we did not plan. Thanks Val and Steve for the change(s) of clothes!

Starting to look more alike?
Asher all smiles because he can sit up and play with his sister
Still have my bald spot, though
Reese's hair is starting to look almost girly
