Happy 6 months to John Warren!
You are six months old now...actually six months, one week, and two days. I'm sorry that I've been procrastinating this blog, but you are keeping your mommy pretty busy!
You started eating baby food on your six month birthday. You had pears as your first food and you loved them. When you can talk, you have to remember to thank Daddy for picking them for you at your great granny's house. Since your pears, you have eaten carrots which you don't really care for, one bite of avocado which caused you to spit up, and peaches from Mamaw's which you love! I'm crossing my fingers that you like squash because that is what I am cooking for you tomorrow!
You love spending time with your great mamaw and papaw. You especially love to watch Papaw wave. You even try to do it back!
Mamaw sings her Bye-Oh Baby song, and you love it. I'm glad you do because she tells me every time about how I never liked her song when I was a baby.
You starting sitting up around 5 1/2 months--I was trying to get you ready for your 6 months pictures. Now you are doing pretty well sitting by yourself. You love to play with your toys while you are sitting up. If there is something that you want, you go for it now. Your favorite things to grab are the computer and remote control.
You still haven't cut any teeth, but they are getting ready to break through. You drool like crazy and put everything in your mouth! Your feet have even made it to your mouth now. Your big toe seems to be the favorite. You aren't crawling yet, but you are trying to learn how. You push up really well but haven't figured out how to pull your knees under you at the same time. You mostly push yourself backwards.
You still love to drink your mommy's milk. I guess after six months of being exclusively breastfeed, you have gotten attached. You wake up about every two hours during the night and won't go back to sleep until you nurse. You really only eat once; all the other times you just comfort yourself back to sleep.
You have learned how to give Momma sugar! I love to get sweet baby kisses from you. We take turns. Mommy gives you sugar, and you give me some in return. On the day your turned six months and we took your pictures, you reached for me for the first time, and Aunt Misty got a picture of it. Like I said, when you want something or someone, you will go for it. Yesterday, you were playing in your pack-n-play and started pulling up on the side. You didn't stand up but you were trying.
You love Teaka, and when she walks past you, you want to grab her more than anything, but she is too smart for that and knows to stay away. You love reading books and singing songs. When you got your shots you were in the 60th percentile for your head circumference, 50th for your weight, and 95th for your length. Daddy is keeping his figures crossed that you will be taller than both of us!
Every day you grow in both mind and body. I see you changing all of the time, and I am completely amazed by the miracle of life that God has given us. We love you sweet baby boy!
