I cannot believe my little baby man is already 6 months old. I am shocked at how fast time is flying by, but he amazes me more and more every day. I love watching him grow, learn, and discover new things. He has such a fantastic little personality already; it makes me just want to eat him up!
.
.
Things he loves:
.
His Momma!
.
.
Food. So far, everything he has tried to eat, he likes! So, luckily he’s not too picky…yet!
.
.
He has tried: rice cereal,sweet potato, avocado, applesauce, pears, peas ,carrots, oatmeal cereal, and prunes. We’ve had to calm it down a little bit, because he does suffer from severe constipation. (It SUCKS) We’re trying to get that under control, but the pediatrician said it’s totally normal. (It just really SUCKS!!!)
.
He likes to be held, a LOT, still! Some days he does not want to be put down. I love my lil cuddle man!
.
.
He still loves his activity centers and he loves to try to crawl! He can go around in circles, but he can’t quite get the pushing forward down just yet.
.
He loves to talk/babble
.
.
A few weeks ago he started to try and copy things I was doing. For example, if I lay on the floor and put my feet up to touch my toes, he does the same thing!!! It’s adorable! Now we have to really be careful of what we say and do!! Don’t want to teach him bad habits.
.
He still loves his BFFF (best fur friend forever) Petie!
.
.
Also, he has two bottom teeth AND I taught him to hive five!!! It’s awesome!
.
.
He does not like:
.
Change… He likes his schedule. We can break it up to go on trips in the car (pending a good mood), but he really likes to stick to his schedule.
.
wake up around 8am
.
First nap around 10:30am
.
play time and maybe a car trip 12-2 or 3
.
Second nap around 4
.
bath time at 7:30pm
.
and bed time around 8:00 or 8:30
.
To be put in his crib (initially) for bedtime. This is a new thing and it’s really annoying. 🙂 It takes us an hour to get him down. Once we do, he will typically sleep 7-11 hours straight… as long as we have him in the night time diapers. We cannot forget or run out of those. For whatever reason Luvs work great for him during the day, but Seventh Generation diapers are the JAM at night! I swear by them. It really is a world of difference. Without them, he wakes up WAY too many times during the night!
.
(Update, he suddenly stopped doing this and is back to normal. It’s great! He goes down right away. I love it!)
.
He also does not like his dad to put him to bed… While I love that he needs me, I also get annoyed that I have to do EVERYTHING. I know it’s not Scott’s fault, but I wish Hudson would be a little more open to this bedtime option so that I could take a break!
.
These past six month have flown by but I’m glad I get to enjoy every single moment with the cutest kiddo on the planet! I am one lucky lady!!
