Our Slice of Suburbia: 6 Month Updates

How is it possible that you are 6 months already. We had fun celebrating your half year birthday!!

Some Stats:

Weight: ALMOST 21 pounds (95%)

Height: 28 inches (Over 100%)

Clothes: 9-12 month

Diapers: Size 3

Food: Still Breast Fed (we are doing great most days!) and you love your solids. We started solids and 4 months and you just love eating real food everyday. Some favorites include: Sweet Potato, Apples& Pears with Cinnamon, Peas, and Yogurt (any flavor will do). I am making all you food and that has been a lot of fun for me.

Sleep: You still love sleeping with mommy and daddy. If you sleep in our bed you will sleep anywhere from 3-5 hours at a time. But if you are in your crib or pack and play you usually only sleep about 45 mins - an hour. That's ok though. Because we LOVE having you in bed with us. And you still are eating 1 time at night (normal around 1ish).

Activities: Jumpy! Jumpy! Jumpy! It doesn't matter if you are sitting or standing, you are Always bouncing up and down. Your favorite toy is a musical tool bench. You love to sit in front of it and hit it with all your might. You will purposely knock it over and then scoot on your butt up to it (so you can hit it some more).

Favorites: You still LOVE playing with Grandma and Uncle John. They can always get a big smile out of you. Whenever you see your Great Grandma, you never fail to give her your flirty eyes! You seriously love playing with animals. We have to remind you to be gentle (even though you don't know what that means yet). You try to catch Kitty when she run by (and she hates it) and you love playing with Snoop Dog at Grandma and Grandpa's (and she LOVES it!!)

First Katy Rodeo! We can't wait for you to be big enough for the Stick Horse race and Mutton Bustin'

Milestone: Sitting! You started sitting independently at 5 months and 2 weeks. And mastered it by the 6 month mark. Your doctor was surprised at how good you are at it! We knew you were super strong and wanted to be independent asap!
