I can hardly believe it, but our little boy turned six months old this week!
Zoey was excited to sing for her brother
(ignore the closet in the background...that is a project for this weekend)
This is a new face he just started making. Silly boy!
Milestones:
Alexander has just moved up to size 4 diapers
He loves nearly every food we've tried, and eats a good one to one and a half tablespoon of food during dinner
He loves tummy time in the grass while we wait for daddy to come home
His favorite sound is dada
When he's upset, he rarely cries but instead grunts. My dad says that the Scottish call this gurning. We say he has grown from a psycho piglet to a little pig
His new nickname is Potatoes (as in sack of potatoes) and we love to call our babies Trodle and Potatoes. Sounds like a yummy snack, huh?!
He still seems to love school and all the activity it involves
He eats every three hours, six ounces if it's from a bottle
He is sleeping so well! Praise God! He now goes down consistently around 7:30, dream feeds just before I go to sleep, and then only wakes up once to eat, usually somewhere between 3:30 and 4:30 and then wakes up for the day between 5:30 and 6:30
He takes 3-4 naps a day, with at least one being over an hour
He loves the water and his float
Memories:
My dad came down and then unexpectedly had to go back home the same day.
Though we were disappointed to see him go, we made the most of every minute we had.
Alexander reached out for him immediately
He was fascinated by Granpop's glasses, so he had to ditch them
Being six months old, the risk of SIDS for our little man has decreased significantly, so we have transitioned him into his own room. We started out with him sleeping in a pack n' play while we waited for his crib to be delivered.
During my dad's short visit, he helped me put the crib together. In total, it took 5.5 hours!
What a big job! I hope tonight is a good night in the new, much bigger bed.
Alexander watched the action while playing on the floor
I was looking forward to spending Father's Day with my dad, but hopefully Granpops will get to come back for a longer visit real soon!
