6 Months Old

While we were in GA, the little guy turned 6 months on us. So I took the pictures on the 18th and decided to wait until after his doctor's appointment today before I posted them. I also enjoyed not checking the computer during the trip. It was nice. My son loves the camera now and if I am behind it, he will look straight at it and flash his brightest smile. I got some awesome shots of him!

What he is up to:

28 inches long (90%)

16 lb 14oz (34%)

44.3 cm head circumference

Almost crawling - so close he can taste it, he'll get so upset when he doesn't go forward

Mobile - he can roll and scoot to where he wants to  be

Babbling

Saying "mamama" and "dada" - loves the reactions he gets for saying them

Sitting up by himself

Eating more solid food -sweet potatoes are great, so are the Gerber puffs

Sleeping longer at night

Starting to take real naps - I think I am more excited about this to be honest

Teething - the first one is almost out, probably will be in a few days

He has his own personality and knows what he wants or does not want at any given time. He'll shriek to let you know if he isn't happy. He is very affectionate, especially with me. He'll snuggle into me constantly, want to be near me, and loves touching me right now. But he is okay with other people holding him or even being in the other room away from me.

We're going to up his food some more since Dr. Garcia wants to see if we can get his weight up. Of course, Jojo seems to be obliging him by wanting more solid food now. Plus that tooth is RIGHT THERE waiting to pop out of the gum line. Poor guy has been a little miserable trying to work it out. He likes chewing on wet washcloths right now, so I try to have one ready for him. But it has to be warmish, he does not like cold currently.

Most of these changes happened while we were in GA. He got up on his hands and knees, rocking back and forth on the second day there. The "mama dada" babbling started on the 21st. Plus the longer naps. I hope he continues those because it would give me more time to work on things during the day!
