Six Months Old Today

I turned six months old on Wednesday - that means I'm celebrated my HALF Birthday!

Some highlights of the past month are getting my first vacation, my first tooth, working on sitting up, trying some butternut squash and celebrating my first Easter.

I weigh 13 lbs 13 oz. (9th percentile) and am 25 1/2 inches long (31st percentile). My head is 42 cm (41st percentile).

I had to get two shots and one oral vaccine. I cried but not for too long.

I have been eating around 5-6 ounces every 3-4 hours. In the morning I eat about 7 ounces and before bed I eat between 6-7 ounces.

I normally go to bed around 9:00 p.m. Most nights I sleep until about 7:00 a.m. Some nights I wake around 2:30. If I wake at that time it's usually because I've rolled onto my back and even though I can roll back to my belly I don't. I want Mom or Dad to come in and roll me over. Sometimes I wake around 5:30 and sometimes I wake at both 2:30 and 5:30. When I wake at 5:30 it's because I'm hungry but I always go right back to bed after that.

I'll nap 45 min to an hour then be awake for a couple hours. That cycle repeats all day with the exception of my longer 2 hour nap in the afternoon.

I started eating baby food when I turned six months old. Mommy makes my food herself and the first one I tried was butternut squash. I really like it. I can't wait to see what the next food is she lets me try.

Mom and Dad have been practicing sitting up with me. I'm getting better. I can now sit up for short periods of time all by myself. It will be no time before I'm a pro. :)

I do a lot of 'talking' still. I started doing a fake cough which Mommy and Daddy think is funny and I think it's funny when they do it back at me.

It's been a fun month and we're all looking forward to the next one - and warmer weather!!
