6 Months Old

Date: 1/25/2014

Age: 6 Months

Weight: 17 lbs 0 oz

Height: 26 ½ inches

Head Circ.: 41 cm

Eating: He eats 2-3 oz mixed with equal parts oatmeal cereal every 2-3 hours. He also eats pear baby food three times a day. LOVES eating from the spoon!

Sleep: Bed time is at 9:00 and wakes up (from being stuffy/teething pain) at different times. He usually wakes up anywhere from 5:30 to 6:30, and sometimes once in the middle of the night as well.

Likes: slinky, eating with a spoon, putting everything in his mouth, his new playroom, his monkey blanket, splashing in the bath

Dislikes: teething, coughing and runny-nose

Milestones: sitting up on his own, hand-eye coordination when playing with toys, teething, shifting his weight on his stomach and pushing up higher on his hands (a learning to crawl step!)

It is so strange to look back through his one month old pictures. He looks like a different baby. It is amazing how much he has grown in a few months. What a chunky monkey he is now! 

I am happier now, than I have ever been in my life. Anthony has been the biggest blessing, and it feels as if I have loved him for a life time.. not just six months. Being a mother is the best feeling in the world. I will always love Anthony unconditionally, and can't wait to see how that love will grow as he gets older. 

Love you to the moon and back nugget. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me! Happy half-year! 

love, mommy!
