Happy Unbirthday!

BabyA is HALF A YEAR OLD!

Weight: 15.6lbs, tiny boy
 Length: 26.5inches

Likes: Grabbing everything. My Camelback water bottle. Sitting up. Shrieking. Holding his own binky. Going out. Being in crowds. Walks. Drinking from a bottle. His Grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles. Waking up and getting rescued by an excited mommy. Drooling, everyone asks if he is teething… (no, I check every day) he just likes to drool. Bright colors and new things in public, we took him to Babies R Us and put his in half the displays and he had a ball. FaceTiming Auntie Brylee and Mimi… he smiles so big! Daddy coming home, now he gets excited when he sees hubby and bounces. His doorway jumper, he tries to bounce when we are holding him too. Pears. Pears. Pears. Biting mama with his new teeth.


Dislikes: Avacado. Spoons. Real food. Being put down when he is tired. Sitting down and cuddling. Putting anything in his mouth that is not his hand, especially food. Laying down in a lounge position. The same routine every day, he likes change, and doesn’t like being stuck while I work. Drinking from the bottle with cereal in it, it takes longer and requires more effort. Food that is not pears.

Eye Color: Grey with some blue

Hair Color: Blonde with red in certain light

New Skills: Sleeping through the night 100% of the time. Rolling back and forth and back and forth like a rolypoly. Getting the binky from the floor or crib into his hand and then his mouth. Arching in the bumbo so it looks like he will fall out. He found his thumb…boo, its his favorite finger to chew on. He makes ‘da da da’ sounds now. Complaining, he learned how to complain when there is nothing wrong and he is just bored.  Opening his mouth for the spoon, when it is pears. Or mixed with pears. Rolling back and forth all the time, and scooting around in circles like a clock. Thumb sucking…not ok. Getting his thumb stuck up the middle of the binky.

My Favorite Thing: He’s turning into a person with his own ideas about what he wants from us. Feeding him the first time was really exciting… but it was shortlived because he hated it. Once in a blue moon he will be so tired he will fall asleep being burped and I live for those snuggly sleep cuddles. I can hold him on my hip and not worry about his head strength. He gets so excited when he sees me after naps. And he will jabber at me.

Things I Call Him: Little Bear, Little Bug, BabySquare, Squatty, Squats, TinyBear, Tinybug.
