6 Month Update

I feel like I need to pinch myself. My tiny 6 lb. baby is now 6 months old and if he gains another ounce I am not going to be able to carry him around in his carseat anymore. I've said it every month but this really has been my favorite age yet. He is so interactive now and has a silly little personality. 

Weekly pictures the first 6 months

Weight: 17 lbs. 2 oz.
Height: 26.75  inches 
Clothing Size: 6-9 Months

Looks

Eye color: Almost brown, but still kind of golden  
Hair color: Brown minus the bald spot on the back of his head

Language 

We call him screech monkey. Its the cutest though. Most his babbles sound like "hey" "hi" "yay". No mamas or dadas yet. 

Milestones

Firsts: Thanksgiving, Thanksmas, sitting up on own, tummy sleeping

Sleep

Remember at 5 months when I said things were getting better, yeah it was a fluke. So we opted to sleep train and I talked about it in more detail here and here. We are getting some god 11 hour stretches at night and taking 3 naps a day.

Food

He's pretty much had every flavor baby food possible. I want to start introducing some more texture this  next month. He typically drink five 6oz. bottles a day. 

Favorites

Moment: One day he grabbed each side of my face and kissed me (put an open mouth on my mouth) 
Likes: Tummy sleeping, his blankie, Mr. Monkey, When daddy comes home from work, showers
Dislikes: Sleep training, squash, napping, shots
