Today marks 6 months since I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy! I don't know where the time has gone and I cannot believe how far we have all come. I have learned so much, Jared would say he has learned a lot (I hope!), and Andersen is learning and changing every day! I am proud of making it this far without throwing in the towel when things got tough and am still breastfeeding. But I would not be telling the truth if I said that I am not glad that Andersen loves his other food so much more than what I give him. Real food has saved my spirit!!
Here are the stats on Andersen and his skills:
- not sure of his exact weight, but might be on the heavier side of 14 pounds! (up 3 pounds in 2 months!!)
- wears size 2 diapers
- FINALLY transitioning to 3-6 month clothes
- takes 3 (sometimes 4) naps a day ... most not longer than an hour
- still on a 3 hour feeding schedule... lately we have been "sleeping in" so things have been a little off
- goes to bed between 7 and 7:30p and will sleep until 5:45a, see note about pillow top mattress below
- plays on his tummy and likes to eat his crawl ball
- can roll both front to back and back to front
- is able to stand if you hold his hands
- likes to jump in his jumperoo
- likes to play airplane
- can sit up on his own, but tends to fall forward when playing with/eating toys
- prefers a nice pillow top mattress and pillow over his crib and will sleep until 7:30a with me
- is a squirmy wormy when it comes to diaper changes and getting dressed
- will be found in a different position than where you put him to go to bed or take a nap
- his sleepy cue is holding his hands together palm to palm
- was going down for naps without cuddling, but that has all gone to hell over the last week or so... what's up with that?! bedtime too...!!
- has not gotten stuck in his crib since we put his bumpers up, BUT! he was found to be peaking over the bumpers and looking out his door the other day when he was tired of napping and wanted out
- LOVES solid food! He eats: oatmeal, apples, pears, bananas, sweet potato, butternut squash, carrots, peas, chicken will be next and then green beans. He eats 2 ice cubes at each meal (he cries if you give him less) and has fruit/oatmeal for breakfast and dinner and vegetables for lunch (meat will be eaten with vegetables). I make all of his food and quite enjoy it!
- Andersen always has a smile on his face and laughs at almost anything!
Happy 6 Month Birthday Beautiful Boy! We love you!
