You
are becoming such a little boy Growing way to fast and doing all sorts of
things. Not to mention you are
EVERYWHERE! You are not crawling yet and do not even get up to all fours and
rock back and forth. Instead you just
roll roll roll roll. You can get from
one place to the other pretty darn fast.
Your legs are so strong if we stand you up against the couch or the ottoman
you can stand there for a long time! Just these last couple days right before
turning 6 months you have got really good at sitting up. You still fall over while playing with toys
but you are getting the hang of it pretty fast!
You are sleeping in your crib 100% of the time minus when Mommy gets up
and feeds you laying in the bed with you and we fall asleep for a good hr or
more snuggling J Mommy is really good at
sleep feeding you hahah More like you are good at holding your bottle until it
is gone and then just drop it! You are becoming quite the little blankey baby
when you sleep as you like to be covered up with one and you hug another light
weight one up by your face. Also you
sleep on your face or even some time your belly where as you use to always be
on your back with your arms out or above your head. You are eating 5-6 oz at a time. You eat solids at about 5pm and then bath and
last bottle at 6:30 asleep by 7. You wake
to eat at night at about 11 and 2 and then up to eat and for the day at about
6-7:30. You are still getting only
breast milk but this month we will be beginning to introduce formula. You are loving solids and we are experimenting
with all sorts of different foods. Fruit:
apples, pears, banana, nectarine, watermelon and cantaloupe (pieces you suck on
it). You love the foods that you get to feed/suck on yourself. Including Mum Mums which are a pretty big
hit! Veggies: carrots, sweet potato, squash, peas, green beans, avocado. The teething net is a huge hit too putting in
frozen fruit and you will get so mad when no more juice comes out! I think
apples are your favorite so far.
Things
you love: You love being outside we go on walks daily (or if we need to put you
to sleep) or sit on a blanket with toys you are always just so content being
outside. Cant wait to find a park with
baby swings OR be home in Iowa with trees that we could have a swing hang
from. I think you will love it! You also love the pool the water is still too
cold so we either just dip our toes in or we sit over at the tables just watching
the fountains. You love to bounce and
play in your exersaucer aka the poop machine.
We take it out on the “deck” a lot.
YOU LOVE LOVE LOVE baths. It’s
the one time a day we can almost ALWAYS count on you crying (which you really
do not do much) is when we pull you out.
You love playing peek a boo, especially with blankets being put over
your face/body! You kick and flail and get so excited. You love when your daddy comes home from work
he gets that same reaction! You are drawn to strings (mommys ties on her
slippers or on our hoodies) and cords (which we need to baby proof the house
better). You love feet to! Your feet our
feet anyones foot/toe that you can get in your mouth hahahah.
You
have lost your funny hair as it is starting to grow! You do not have missing line in the back
anymore but the stuff on top is very long and stringy since you never lost any
of it. It is also turning very blonde with
a hint of brown still
