Cullyn {6 Months}

Happy 1/2 Birthday Little Man! 

As a rule, seem to be sleeping much better.  Hallelujah!  Some night you're sleeping straight through the night.  Other nights you get up 1-3 times.  Since you're no longer up multiple times each night, I actually enjoy snuggling with you early in the morning! :)  We no longer swaddle you.  You usually sleep on your tummy, but sometimes still your back.  You still take 2-3 naps a day {depending on our night}.

You now eat four, seven-ounce bottles throughout the day.  Usually 6-7a, noon, 4p, & 8p.  You can hold your own bottle, briefly, now.  We gave you a few bites of banana and of avocado once this month, but you aren't interested.  I plan to work with you a bit more now that you're 6 months.

You're in size 3 diapers, size 3-6 month onesies, and 3 or 6 month clothes.  You had your 6 month vaccinations and the first part of our flu shot.  You weigh 16lbs. 3oz. {22%}.  You are 26.5" tall {40%} and your head is 16.5" {11%}

You are rolling over like crazy and sit up remarkably well!  If you're on carpet, I don't hesitate to leave you sitting unassisted.  You spin and roll to get where you want {not quite an army crawl}.  You still don't have any teeth, but the drooling has slowed down a bit!  

We went apple picking this month, you had your first visit to the ENT {a followup is scheduled for next month}, & you survived your first set of family photos! :)  Your jumpers are your favorite toys.  You love taking baths with sissy.  
Love you to the moon & back baby boy!

6 Month Comparison Photo


Here is a comparison of my kids both at 6 months.  What do you think?  

Jordyn obviously had more hair.  It's hard to tell in the photo, but I'm pretty sure Jordy's legs were quite a bit bigger.  Cullyn is smaller in the tummy {I can tell because his onesies are loose and Jordy's never were}.  Cullyn definitely sits up better than Jordyn did at this age {I attribute that to being the second child and I'm not able to be held 24/7}.  Thoughts on if his hair will lighted up like Jordyn's has?

PS…6 months is an awesome age!  They can sit up nicely but still stay in one area.
