You are 6 months old! Where the heck does the time go? I cannot believe you are half a year old. It serioulsy went by so fast.
You are still such a mover and a shaker! You got up on your knees for the first time this month. You really want to crawl, but right now you get on your left knee and push up and drag the right leg behind you. You kind of inch worm your way or barrel roll where you want to go. You are still a hair grabber, try to eat everything, and will not sit still no matter what! If you are in the bumbo or bouncer, you try to roll out of them!
You love to talk and coo still! We have heard you say "ma" and "dada" but you don't know you are saying it yet. Everything you say, Owen will look at me, tell me what you said, and will start laughing so hard. You two are just too sweet to watch together! You still do your high pitched Mariah Carey squeel too.
You love the jumperoo still, but your favorite activity is to be on your belly and to watch everything and everyone, try to put as many things into your mouth as you can, and to try to crawl!
You are taking 4 1/2-5 breastfeeding feeds a day and are eating 3 meals a day. You have tried a lot of different fruits and veggies and love everything you have tasted so far. We can tell that you are growing because you are starting to eat more and more at each meal!
You still hate bottles, although we will keep trying little man! We know you are working on getting some more teeth in because you are drooling like crazy and putting everything into your mouth!
We found out that you have your first ear infection. The pediatrician prescribed amoxycylin so we will start that and see how it goes. I feel like this is why you haven't been eating as well lately and once you start feeling better you will eat like a champ again! You also have this weird fungus circle on your head, but we are going to start some cream on it to see if that helps. Your ezcema is so much better since I have cut out dairy. We are still applying the lotion every day and that is helping.
Last month, you experienced your first Halloween and you were a dinosaur and Owen was a ninja and this month you went to Mimi's house for Thanksgiving. We hung out with her, Aunt Emily, Thadd, and you also got to see your Great Grandma Emily, Uncle John, Aunt Marlene, Mawmaw, and Pawpaw on your way back home. It was a fun filled three days!
You are taking 2-2 1/2 naps a day of about an hour to two hours each. You still go to bed between 7-8, will wake up once in the middle of the night to eat, and then will wake up at 7ish. I think once you start taking good feedings during the day again, you won't be waking up in the middle of the night anymore. You have slept all the way through the night before without waking up, so we want to make this more consistent ok?
You weigh 17.5 pounds (50th percentile), are 29 inches long (95th percentile), and your head is in the 75 percentile. I knew you were getting longer because you are in pretty much just 12 month clothes now. So, hopefully you aren't in 2T clothes by the time you are 1! You are in size 3 diapers now too!
You are still as chubby and chunky as ever and we love you so much!
