six months old [truett]

Happy Half-Birthday sweet boy!!

Weight/Height: His six month check up isn't until next week so we won't have an accurate number til then. But I'm guessing he's a little over 20lbs now. 

Clothes: He has outgrown all of his clothes! Ah! I swear I feel like I buy new clothes every week. For now, he is in 12 month but I'm sure he could easily go up another size. 

Sleep: He had on really rough week, waking up anywhere from 3-4 times per night! I felt like I had a newborn again. But now he is on a much better schedule. He goes to bed around 6:30-7, wakes up once around 2 or 3 to nurse and then up for the day around 5 or 6. Only once per night! Such a huge change and it's been so great. He seems happier too now that he's getting better sleep at night. 

Feeding: Nursing still. My initial goal was to make it to six months, so yay I'm there! Now my next goal will be to 9 months. We have also added one "meal" a day, usually lunch time he gets some sort of veggie. He still hasn't quite figured out the while swallowing deal haha but it's so cute to see him try! 

Likes: He loves the doggies and is always trying to pet them, but really just ends up grabbing their fur. Lola doesn't mind but Leo is such a baby and cries and runs away. They are really good with him though! He loves to crawl around on the floor and play with his toys. He has also been loving walks in his stroller. 

Dislikes: Still not a fan of long car rides but if they are short he does great! He also hasn't been a huge fan of his exersaucer bouncer as of lately. He would much rather roll around on the floor. 

Milestones: He's had a big month! He can sit all by himself without any support. He has started crawling and scooting around. The crawling is so cute! He can make it a few steps before crashing but overall he does really well getting around. He is sleeping a ton better so that's a huge milestone too! And he said "mama" this past month too! He said "da" the other day but not the full "dada" yet. 

Events: First trip to the pumpkin patch! & His first Halloween! 

And a quick mama update:

Weight Loss: Down a couple since last time. Nothing major. 

Other Changes: My monthly visitor came back this past month. That's been real fun. Not. But on the up side my hair is growing back in. I have lovely little baby hairs that poke out all over. 

We love you sweet boy! You are such a happy, content little fella with a very sweet personality. We are lucky to be your parents. xoxo
