Qualls is 6 months old...

our sweet qualls turned 6 months old on the 5th of april. i cannot believe how 1/2 a year has flown by...it is hard to believe that in 6 more months...qualls will be a year old. makes me sad!!! but as my granny/memaw tells me..."you would be worried if he didn't grow"...so, i guess i am happy that he is a healthy little chunky baby boy!!! we went for our 6 month visit today.

qualls weighed almost 21lbs and is 28in. long. he is in the 95% in both!!! we use to call quinn our "chunky monkey" but qualls is for sure our "chunky monkey." he is such a sweet and good natured baby and we cannot imagine what life was before he was born on october 5th!!!
