SIX Months!!!

March 22, 2011

My Brody Bear is SIX months old!!! That is half a year...half way to ONE!!! =(

My sweet boy is six months old! I am so in love with him! He has brought so much love and joy into our lives! I live for his sweet smiles and laughs! I fall more and more in love with him each day!!

Brody you are six months old!! What have you been up to??

* You are still the sweetest little thing ever! You are very laid back and easy going! You just go with the flow and take it all in!

* You still drink 5 oz. every three hours except at night.

* You have your last bottle around 10 and sleep until about 7 each morning. You usually have your bottle and then fall back asleep until about 9 or so or until Avery wakes up and wakes you up. You still sleep in bed with mommy and daddy! I love it soooo much, but I KNOW I have to move you to your bed soon! Hopefully I can work on that this month, but honestly I do not want to!

* You have started to eat baby food this month. At first you were very unsure and did not like it, but in the last week you have really started to like it and become better at eating with the spoon although you make a huge mess. You have had: peas, green beans (did not like at all), sweet potatoes and squash. You have cereal in the morning and a veggie in the evening.

* You still take your afternoon nap in the swing and a short evening cat nap there too. I think you would go to bed earlier but you always get woken up by Avery.

* You said your first word this month...dada!! Although, I am not sure how that happened because we have been practicing saying mama for the past six months!

* You roll everywhere. You are really good at rolling from your back to tummy and usually roll over right away even when you sleep, but you aren't to good at tummy to back even though you can do it!

* You are close to crawling I am afraid. You can scoot and pull your self around.

* You always want to be standing up on your feet!

* You have started to sit in the high chair and love it. If I put toys on the tray for you you will sit and play for a while!

* You are getting so big. You can wear size 6-9 months and even some 12 months clothes are fitting you good.

* You weigh 19 lbs. and 8 oz. (85%)

* You still wear a size 3 diaper, but not for long!

* You had RSV this month and an ear infection. You had to have breathing treatments. Thank God you are much better now!

* You are very close to sitting up on your own. You can sit up on your own for a few minutes before tumbling over.

* You always have your hands in your mouth, you try to fit the whole thing in there.

* You have become very grabby. You are always grabbing for anything in your reach, you especially love my hair and Avery's! Avery is not a fan of this!! =)

* You laugh and smile and talk to us all the time!

* You have learned to make the blowing noise with your mouth! And, you think that is pretty funny!

* You love to swing in the baby swing out side and usually try to fall asleep!

* You have become pretty attached to your mommy!!! (Yay!! =))

* You love bath time and try to put the faucet in your mouth! We have to be very careful!

* You truly are the sweetest thing I have ever laid eyes on! You melt my heart, I love you more than words!!

Happy happy six months my Brody Bear!!
