happy half birthday to my smiley, sweet boy!
weight: 17lbs 3oz (40%)
height: 27.5" (75%)
dr check up: all looks good for our tall and skinny guy!
Brooks is such a doll! Not a visitor we meet doesn't tell us how sweet and cuddly this guy is. He is definitely moving away from the baby phase though and into an active guy, cue the tears now.
sleep
he is mostly a great sleeper! Every night around 8pm as we're doing bedtime routine he is rubbing his eyes and irritable and more than ready to crash! After I feed him and lay him down, most nights he sleeps until 6/7am! On occasion he does wake up at 3am or so but those seem to be getting fewer and farther in-between. He wakes up in the morning, eats, and sometimes take a cat nap after that. His morning 10am nap is debatable, kind of depending on our day. But then he takes a great afternoon nap 2-4, same time as E!
eat
This is the most eager kiddo to have food I have ever seen. We have exclusively breastfed the whole 6 months so far and he is just now trying food in his first day of being 6 months old. He nurses every few hours and I still kind of nurse on demand to calm him down or whatnot. He takes several 5 oz bottles throughout the day when I am at daycare. But, anytime we're eating, he is watching us very closely and reaching for our every bite. He has tried banana twice so far and is not impressed. Ha!
play/development
- as of lately he sits up on his own! Of course, that is after I put him in a sitting position, but once left in that position, he can hold himself for awhile!
- he is reaching and picking up toys so much! He is still very clumsy and whacks himself in the face several times but I can tell he is really focused.
- He LOVES his sister. Whatever she is doing, he has his eyes on her. He lights up when she comes near and she adores him. She brings him toys, tells him over her shoulder "its okay brother" if he's upset and wants to hold him often. The sweetest.
- He popped a tooth! It's sharp and barely there!
