6 Months Old

A half a year has already gone by...hard to believe!!! Landon is doing really well and continues to grow and develop and become more and more his own little person.

Here's what you are up to these days:

* You have regressed big time in the sleep department, so we are trying to figure out if you are developing bad habits, growing, teething, etc. You are still sleeping 12 hours a night, but wake up every 4 hours or so.

* Your naps have gotten more consistent. You always go down after you are up for 2 hours in the morning. The afternoon isn't quite as predictable, but you are sleeping good during the day.

* You pretty much always sleep in your crib. You still prefer to sleep on your belly or side.

* Your pediatrician said today that your top teeth are definitely coming in and should be through in the next couple of weeks. So you are still drooling, chewing and biting whatever you can!

* You have tried rice cereal, oatmeal and squash. You are not sure what you think of these solids yet and still prefer milk!

* You are consistently rolling over from your belly to your back, but not quite the other way around. You will roll to your side, but seem to prefer being on your back.

* You can sit up by yourself for quite awhile but still need supervision as you topple over frequently.

* You can grab things in all directions and if they aren't in your mouth you love to shake them...often hitting yourself in the head which doesn't make you very happy!

* You have developed your own sense of humor and will sometimes laugh at the oddest things (it is so cute)! You like to laugh at us, Addie and then will get tickled at something that you see.

* You love to smile and are easy to please when we are playing with you or giving you attention.

* You get the biggest kick out of peek-a-boo and can anticipate when we are playing this with you.

* You are babbling a variety of vowels...haven't heard a ton of consonants yet.

* You continue to be the most vocal by screaming...which can be SO loud sometimes!

* We got a high chair for you and you seem to love it...being up with us at the table and playing with your toys.

* You sometimes have the funniest facial expressions and are adding many new ones.

* You got your first "haircut", as we trimmed the front of your hair (it was an inch longer than any other part and was looking a bit dorky!)

* You are in size 3 diapers and 6 month clothes (some 6-9 month)

* You weigh 17lb 13 oz (75th percentile)

* You are 28 1/4 inches (97th percentile) and head circumference is 17 1/2 inches (75th percentile)

Overall, you are a pretty easy baby (although there are times you can be quite demanding)!

I can't believe in another 6 months you will be a year old...how is that possible!?!?

We just love you soooo much!

We sure love that little boy. We are missing him big time. Love to walk in and get him out of his crib and get one of those BIG grins.
