Y'all. I seriously can not believe it has been 6 months. This kid is SO big. Just in the last 2 weeks have we really seen some big changes. I'm just going to list them out:
- he has two bottom teeth! they have cut through the gums, but they aren't all the way up yet
- he is rolling over back to tummy, tummy to back constantly!
- he is sleeping unswaddled
- he, most nights, goes without a bottle!
- he just started, as in did it twice yesterday, lifting his hands when he wants to be picked up
- he leans into me to give me hugs, reaches for me and buries his head in my neck/shoulder. it is a dream!
- he eats solid foods in the morning and evening now
- he rolled over onto his tummy last night and woke himself up and he was not happy about it
- he puts himself to sleep really well...after a book I just lay him in his crib and he falls asleep
- he has started playing in his crib, with his feet, with his pacifier, just looking out, it is so cute!
We are still working on sitting up, but it is getting better each day. Funny story, when we were at his 6-month check-up I was telling our doctor I was slightly concerned that he wasn't even balancing himself or doing a "tripod" sit. She wanted to see what he could do and he seriously did the best tripod sitting I've ever seen him do, ha! His stats at his appointment were still in the 8th percentile for weight, at 14.95lbs and 50th for length at 26 inches. He is following the curve for the 8th percentile, so that is good.
I've gotten out a few of his 9-month clothes, mainly some onesies and pajamas. His cloth diapers really help keep him in those bigger clothes! Overall, he continues to be a very happy baby and I really am so lucky he is ours!
Oh, and I have to add these photos from this morning...it is just going to get harder to these
