Six Month Highlights:
- 17lbs, 12 ozs., 25 inches long, 16 1/2 in head circumference
- Dark eyes... a little deep blue in the middle and brown around the outside.
- You are starting to get a little more hair on top of your head
- Wearing 6-9 month clothing and 9 month pajamas \\ Pampers Size 3 diapers
- Nicknames: Little Man, Baby Ford, Brother Bear
- Firsts: Rolled over on Dec 8 - during the KA Tie exchange at our house, Celebrated your first Christmas and New Year's this month. First Cold was 3 days before Christmas, you came home with a nasty cough and runny nose. The doc didn't seem concerned... but RSV was going around and we watched you closely. You probably had a mild case, but you shook it pretty quick.
- Tricks: big smiles, laughs, talking/babbling, holding toys, sitting up with assistance now, rolling all over the place... and somehow moving from where we leave you.
- Food: Mostly Momma's milk and started food just last week (a week before your 6 mom birthday), so far I think you are going to be a good eater. We can't get the food to your mouth fast enough! You love oatmeal, bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, butternut squash, and just apples. You didn't like the purred green beans and the actual applesauce is a little sweet.
- You made your first trip to Franklin, NC this month to visit Gia
- We are working on sleep - you are not the best sleeper these days. But it's getting better. We put you down around 7pm, feed you once around 10pm... then sometimes it's midnight, 3 and 6. Other nights it's 1:45, 4 and 5:30. Like I said, we're working on it. UPDATE - You finally slept through the night on Feb 7... 6:30 p.m.-5:30 a.m., with just a dream feed!
- You are a good napper, however, giving us 2 strong naps during the day.
- We moved you to your own room around 5 months, and into your crib just shy of 6 months. The pack n play had to go... and thankfully your sister wanted to give up her crib for you.
- You are doing really well at your sitters and we are very happy!
- You love playing on your playmate/gym and your lion bouncer is your favorite. We got out the frog seat for you to sit upright in, and it's not really your favorite - unless you are getting fed, and then you're happy. We recently moved you to the booster seat at the bar and you like it better - free arms to grab food.
- You don't really like the paci. We tried to give it to you at night around the 4-5 month range and you weren't really having it, so we just did without.
- We did purchase breathable bumpers for you - since you love to roll around and snuggle up to them at night.
- No more laying on the bed for you, mom caught you just before you hit the ground after rolling off the side.
