at 6 months i am

26 inches (grown 2 inches in 2 months)
and 15 pounds (gained 2 pounds in 2 months!)



the dr said i am getting taller faster than i am getting rounder,
looks like ill be built like daddy.

i hardly cried getting my 3 six month shots,
just like a big boy.

for my big half year birthday,
mama and papa are taking me to their favorite place
YOSEMITE.

(mom is already starting to think about my big 1 birthday bash
she bought a cute little cake pan for my first cake
and researched some low sugar baby friendly options)
where the heck do you have a kids bday party in MARCH?
besides chucke cheese and a park...hrrmm

exxcitment

also...i sleep in pj's without a swaddle (after 5 months of swaddling)
ive moved back to the bedtop bassinet gearing up to move to my own crib and room next week.
mom and dad are a little teaery eyed. they like waking up to my smiling face every morning but
im a big boy now.

mom is making me my own organic baby food. i cant wait for sweet potatoes next week (already ready for me)



ive been eating mostly breast milk for 6 months, some formula.
mom and i never got the hang of latching and positioning, even after seeing a consultant and moms painful undiagnosed infection.
so, shes been expressing and feeding me, 6-10 times a day for the last 5 months.
its very time consuming and mechanical.
she promised me and herself, she would keep it up for my health until 6 months, and then would reconsider the situation.
now at 6 months, she reached her goal, and all the pumping, shes not sure if she wants to give up such a special thing for me.



at 6 months, im so many things!!

at six months i can

eat oatmeal every morning with mama
hold a sippy cup all by myself

eat triangles

smile allllll the time and laugh out loud
almost as big as faffty fat joe
hold the spoon and feed myself
do some serious bizzznezz
wish daddy a happy 30th birthday
ride in my jackpack
pass toys back and forth between my hands
hang out with friends
pick out which toys i want to play with
ride on daddys shoulders
eat food! my first try, avocado!
be handsome me

five and a half months



have just flown by....he grows and changes everyday and everyday its truly amazing (and i wont lie....also hard and frustrating at times). I was laid off at the end of june and since then i've been a stay at home mom. its always been my dream to be a stay at home mom, but wow, it sure is more work than i ever thought it would be. finding time for myself isnt very easy. but i love that little guy more than i ever thought i could love anything!

baby milestones: smiles at everything, giggles, laughs out loud, rolls from back to tummy and tummy to back, he loves standing, splashing, grabbing toys and putting them in his mouth, i put him down on his play mat with toys all around him and he moves 180 degrees and grabs and throws toys, has been eating oatmeal cereal for 3 weeks and is becoming a pro (now twice a day).

there is just so much to say....and i dont know what else to say!
