Length: He is too squirmy to try and measure. I will find out tomorrow at his 6 month appt.
Size he is wearing: Starting 6-9 months. Seems like he runs true to size which is great on my wallet. He is definitely getting the wear out of his clothing!
Development: He likes to roll from tummy to back and back to tummy to get where he wants to go (almost looks like a gator rolling around ha). It is pretty funny actually. He is also sitting up (90% of the time without help!) We are starting teething which has been an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE!!! He is incredibly grumpy, not napping as well, and cries quite often. I have tried everything and the only thing that he somewhat likes are his Sophie and a cold washcloth. If anyone has any ideas on how to help his gums please please PLEASE let me know before I pull my hair out. Thanks.
Funny things he does: Talking to his Sophie. See video.
Daily activities: Still on the same schedule as before. We have been trying more playtime on his own so he can learn to entertain himself. I have a whole setup downstairs for him to roll around and play (I just recently turned the white portion of the quilt pink. Awesome.)
Sleeping: Sleeping great minus napping. Goes down between 7-8 p.m. and wakes around 7. He is napping but it takes FOREVER to get him down and most days he would rather just sleep on us which I find so sweet and love but then I don't get a dang thing done around the house. I do love how he loves to cuddle. Makes my heart melt.
Eating: We have introduced cereal. He was not a fan of rice cereal but seems to have taken to oatmeal better. He seems to like sitting in his high chair which is good. Next on the menu is sweet potatoes. I have invested in some wipeable bibs. I foresee many messes in my near future.
Things he loves: Playing with his feet, soaking through his shirts with his drool, music, Elmo, and bath time.
Things he hates: His gums, when we go too long without giving him attention, and being overly tired.
How Mom and Dad are doing: Great! We finally went and bought our "we are now officially old and boring" vehicle...a MINI VAN! We love it. For all those haters out there I totally get it. Who would want to drive a mini van?! I was just like you. I was NOT going to be a soccer mom. I thought they were ridiculous and I always wanted a big suv. Then came Alex and we looked at a few vans. WOAH. BEST FAMILY VEHICLE EVER. To have the ability to change Alex with all the doors closed and be able to spread out and basically do the splits is amazing. To be able to haul 2 dogs, a baby, ourselves, and all our crap and still have room to do the Macarena if we felt so inclined is INCREDIBLE! No joke. We will run this vehicle into the ground and I am proud to say I am officially THAT mom. See link below ;-)
