Month 6

Age: 6 Months

Weight:   18 pounds, 2 ounces

Height: 27.75 inches

Favorite activity:   Right now, you're favorite activity is turning over and crawling.  You are able to move and dag nabbit, you want to be mobile All. The. Time.  Generally this isn't a problem.  At bedtime, however, oh my.  You eventually fall asleep, but sometimes it takes time.

Honorable mentions:  You love your new jumper.  It is lots of fun.  You love chasing and "petting" the kitties.  You love giggling with Daddy.  You love being oogled by ladies in public and you love riding in your car seat - most of the time.

This is TOTALLY WICKED!  (Ignore my tired eyes, 'mkay?)

Least favorite activity:  Still burping and the time where we have to fasten you into your car seat.  You could do without that.  You seem to love the new car seat though.  Much less screaming.

Milestones:   You can crawl!  You're eating solids!  You can almost sit unassisted!  YOU HAVE A TWO TEETH!  This has been a big month for you.

Words:  None, but you still chatter.  You're quite the chatty Cathy.

Sleep:  You sleep very well (knock on wood).  Since you learned to turn over, you sleep on your tummy with your tush up in the air.  It's adorable.  

You go to bed between 6:30 and 7:30 and sleep until around 5:30 or 6.  Some days you get up later, some days earlier but you are always an early riser.  Mama is not...but I'm getting better.  I'll be a morning person yet.

Best Moment:  Crawling!  It was so exciting to watch you wiggle your tush and take off.

Worst Moment:   Crawling!  It's the beginning of the end.  You're growing so fast.  I wish you would slow down.

Eating:  You love sweet potatoes.  You hate peas. (Your dad and grandpas are so proud.)  You weren't fond of avocados, but you tolerated them better than peas.  You also like squash.  Next on the to try list include green beans, carrots, peaches, pears  (Grandma's favorite), and applesauce.

Teeth: You have a tooth!  TEETH!  You have two teeth!  They're your front bottom teeth.  We think they have at least one friend because you're still all drooly and congested and cranky.  We shall see.
