*At his 6mo well check on the 14th he weighed 16lb 3oz and was
*He's now wearing a size 2 diaper
*Beginning to wear 6mo clothing, although most of his 3-6 still fit.
*We began baby food when he just turned months old and he didn't take to it too well. He still pushed most of it out with his tongue so I put it away for a couple of weeks but he was just so interested in what we were eating so I tried again at about 5.5 months and he took right to it! He eats about half of a container of baby food before bed. So far he has liked: sweet potatoes, green beans, carrots, and mixed fruit with cereal. He hated peas and mixed vegetables.
*Still takes about 5 six ounce bottles of formula a day; 1 in the morning, 3 at Ms. Cain's, and 1 before bed.
*His sleeping is getting even better, but he still wakes up so early. I suppose I'll take a solid 7:30pm-5am over several wake ups throughout the night, though! He still won't nap in his crib at home...or, well, anywhere but our arms...but he will at the sitters. Go figure!
*He is one of the sweetest babies I've ever been around. He just watches and smiles/coos/giggles at whatever is going on around him. He is obsessed with Mickey Mouse, his sisters and his teething monkey. He loves to be outside and he's becoming a "momma's boy" much to his daddy's dismay. ;) He also loves to jabber and say "dadadadada" all day long.
*He has a weird habit of rubbing his feet together all.the.time; when he's mad, when he's tired, when he's amused, when he's hungry, etc., etc. He does it so much that his socks/shoes won't stay on and he's rubbed several sores on his feet. His little sores just bleed and bleed and his toes are too tiny for bandaids so we just deal. It doesn't seem to bother him, so I guess it's okay.
*He is finally rolling from back to tummy and from tummy to back. He prefers to lay on his side, though, so he doesn't always roll all the way over...but he can, and that's all that matters, right?! Now we need to start working on this sitting up thing....if only we could keep the Livy-monster away long enough!
