I can't believe my baby is 6 months old! It has gone by so fast. I realized I have been doing these posts wrong probably, because I am posting the picture of how old he is but all of the info is from the month before. So really I am talking about what happened when he was 5 months old...
Health stats: No dr appointment this month but no sickness or anything either which is great.
Sleep: Still going strong with the sleep. He is taking two naps a day and usually sleeps through the night. We went through a period for about a week where he was refusing to go to sleep. He would be sleepy and I would put him down and he would just scream and scream. So, we would take turns going back in there and shushing him and it would take us over an hour to finally get him to bed. I realized though that as soon as he heard us open the door to his room, he would stop and look around smiling. So we decided to cry it out. He only lasted for 16 minutes and then fell asleep and ever since then has been sleeping really well. Fingers crossed!
Clothes: He is wearing 6-9 months clothes now. 9 months in the carter's stuff. Still in size 2 diapers.
Milestones: Started eating solids this month! (6/1) He had sweet potatoes, banana, avocado, and butternut squash. For the first few weeks we tried it he was really not much of a fan of anything but towards the end of the month he started liking the banana and now he will eat the other stuff if I mix it. I have been making most of his baby food and it is actually really easy to do and not that time consuming. We are going to the doctor for his 6 month checkup so after that I think he will get clearance to start trying some more things. He is also sitting up now! (6/9) You still have to sit behind him because he will fling himself backwards occasionally so its not completely unassisted sitting but he's doing really well. He also went swimming for the first time this month. My sister came down for their family vacation so we went to the Wild Dunes pool for a few days in a row. He loved it but wasn't quite big enough for the float that I got him so I need to find him a better one.
Likes: He is also really into playing with his toys now, and likes pretty much all of them!
Dislikes: any food that is not bananas
He is doing the backwards crawl.
We celebrated Todd's first Father's Day! I made him this picture frame and he got to go camping for the night with some of his friends.
Reading his favorite book!
