Connor: Six Months Old

Connor,

      It's so hard to believe that you are 6 months old today! In only 6 months you will turn 1. You have grown so fast and are such a precious baby boy. Definitely the cutest we have EVER seen... and mommy has seen a bunch of babies! You have the best smile and most adorable laugh. We are so in love with you and thank you for bringing so much happiness into our life. 

XOXO,

Mommy and Daddy

*Height: 27 inches (75%)

*Weight: 20 pounds, 1 ounce (88%)

*What you eat: Usually 5 ounces of breast milk about every 3-4 hours during the day. You have stared eating baby food. So far you have tried avocado, butternut squash, and sweet potatoes. We were feeding you 1 ounce at dinner, but tonight we gave you 2 ounces and you seemed a lot more satisfied. We feed you 6 ounces before you go to sleep and that will normally hold you for about 6 hours.

*Size clothes: 6-12 months

*Favorite toy: Sophie the Giraffe and your bouncer. You love jumping in your bouncer and get so excited when you are in it!

*What makes you happy: You love to hear silly noises. Daddy tickles you at night when he gets home from work and makes you laugh until it hurts. You love taking baths and splashing in the tub.

*Sleep: We have been trying to you get on  a nap schedule, and it has been working for the most part. You wake up at about 7/8 in the morning. We put you down for a nap at about 9/9:30. You will wake up around 10:30 and will stay awake until about 1/1:30 when you take your afternoon nap. You might take one more nap before dinner, but you have been going to sleep for the night at about 7/7:30.

*Cute things you do: You get so excited when you see us and love to talk. Sometimes it sounds like you say "daddy." You like to pet Kylie, but sometimes you pull her hair out.

*New things you have done over the past month: You started eating baby food and LOVE it. You roll over a lot more. Today you rolled over from back to tummy, and have only done it once before while taking a nap. You learned how to put your pacifier back in your mouth. You have started spitting, especially when you have your pacifier in your mouth.
