On Monday, this precious boy had his half birthday! 6 MONTHS OLD!!
6 Month Stats:
Weight: 19lbs 7 oz (80%)
Height: 28 3/4 in (> 95%)
Head Circum.: 45cm (90%)
He's larger than Carter was at 6 months, so looks like little brother might be bigger!! :)
Blake is continuing to make great strides. We are loving that he is a much happier baby these days! We even dropped the acid reflux medicine he was taking! I don't wish colic/acid reflux on any baby or parent! So glad we are past that!!
He is nursing first thing in the morning and then drinking a pumped bottle the rest of the day. Up to 6-7 ounces per bottle. Last week we started some rice cereal and he really like it! Yesterday we tried bananas and he seemed to like it as well, but later in the day he got the hiccups twice and then threw up everywhere. Hoping it was just the hiccups and not that he had a reaction to bananas. We shall see.
Blake is rolling all over the place, getting where he wants to be. He can even crawl/scoot backwards! It won't be long before we have a crawler!! He loves playing with toys or trying to reach and get whatever is in his site! He puts everything in his mouth!! He can even sit up by himself some, but then will eventually topple over.
He still loves bath time and kicks like crazy in his seat. He seriously soaks the entire bathroom because of his kicking!!
We are still working on nap times. He takes 3-4 half hour naps a day!! Hoping those naps increase in time and decrease in frequency!! He's sleeping 10-11 hours at night. Sometimes he'll wake maybe once a night and we just rock him back to sleep.
He loves his big brother. Always smiles and laughs at him!! Only big issue we are having with him now and is he only wants mommy to feed him his bedtime bottle. If i'm not home and Kevin puts him down, he screams and cries and refuses to eat. And basically just passes out asleep finally. Not good. So working on that!!
It is so great to see Blake's sweet personality starting to shine through. We love this little man!
