On April 7th you had your 6 month check up! You are in the 10th percentile for height at 14.6 lbs and in the 25th percentile for height at 26 inches! You got a lot taller!
Currently we are changing up your eating schedule. Dr. Harmon thought that 6 ounces per feeding was a little much so we are now trying this...5 ounce bottle after you wake up, then later breakfast of sweet potatoes mixed with a little oatmeal and two ounces of formula. Another 5 ounces at lunch, another five ounces after your nap, dinner of baby food, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, peas and green beans are what you like so far, and another two ounces of formula, then 5 ounces at bedtime. You seem to be adjusting well, and you love love love eating baby food, however, you hate cereal and if I think you are figuring out that it is in your breakfast because the last couple of days you aren't eating much of it. You really don't care for any of the fruits, except applesauce but it is to acidic and bothers your reflux so no applesauce for now.
You are starting to hold you bottle and cup a little by yourself, it is pretty cute.
Your sleep schedule is changing.... You are still going to be between 8 and 8:30 however you are waking up as early as 4:30 and you will not go back to sleep until you get a bottle. Sometimes you wake up at 5:30 or 6 and you are up for the day. At first I was not liking this change but now it seems to be working out well and I am adjusting. Well except when you get up at 4:30, lets not do that anymore, k?
You are now pretty much exclusively wearing 6 month clothes. Most of the pants and jeans are to big around your tiny waist but we need those for length. You still have a couple pairs of 3 month jeans that fit well.
You are a roly poly for sure now. You get around that way. You are now getting up on all fours and rocking back and fourth, which has resulted in a few face plants.... but you only cry for a second. I think you may crawl before you sit up. We will see.
You still like the jumparoo a lot, but you prefer to be on the floor so you are free to move about. You have mastered picking things up now, and you pick up your binky and try to put it in your mouth but you haven't quite figured out how to get it into your mouth the right way so that makes you mad.
Speaking of mad, you still have that temper! Man oh man can you scream!
Last week you were cranky for several days in a row and we discovered some little white teeth trying to break though! I can't believe you are already getting teeth! Time is flying!!
You are such a good mannered, happy baby boy and mommy and daddy are so in love, we cannot get enough of you!! We love you sweet boy! Happy "6 months"!
