6 Month Birthday

Junie-bugs

You're 6 months old! We made it - man 6 months is my favorite!

Food Update - things you've tried this month - 

Peaches

Berry puree - strawberries, blueberries, blackberries

Potatoes - mixed with sweet potato/butternut squash

Mixed veggie puree - cauliflower, peas, green beans, carrots

Crackers

Cereal bars

Cherrios

Macaroni

Food is still going great. You don't seem to have any aversions and don't care if things are cold or warmed up. When it's appropriate- you eat the snack provided at school. Last week Ms. Thalia went on and on about how much you like the macaroni and cheese. I think this month - we'll introduce proteins and dairy. 

Schedule/Sleep Update- 

Schedule is basically the same - but now you eat first, then nap. You were a mess in the middle of the night in Memphis, but back at home - you are back to normal.

8am - Breakfast + 6oz bottle

9ish - Nap - (30-60min)

11:30ish - Lunch + 6oz bottle

Noon - Nap (60-90min)

3ish - 6oz bottle + snack

4ish - Nap (30-45min)

6p - Dinner + 6oz bottle

6:30p Bathtime/bedtime

Highlights - 

- 1st Thanksgiving - you enjoyed sweet potatoes, peas, and mashed potatoes
- You also baptized over Thanksgiving weekend. See other post. :)

- You're officially sitting up for extended periods of time. You eventually topple over, but never seem to cry. It's kind of like a gymnastic move - you fall, but keep your head up. 

- Over Thanksgiving - while sitting on Pop's knee, you arched your back and he lost his grip. It was a tiny fall and you only cried for a second - but we coined it the "Pop drop!"

- Your brother and Daddy are still the best at making you laugh. Last night while Maevy was at piano, Carter kept grabbing your blanket and you thought it was hilarious. 

- Lots of chatting this month - ah, da, mm, ma, na and raspberry tongue noises

- You still sometimes have this raspy voice. - and even it comes out in your laughs. Stop smoking all those cigarettes!

First official pics - some of my favorites - 

 

I anticipate next month - you'll be crawling - so I'm going to enjoy non-mobile June while I've still got it!

Love you,

Mommy
