Walker you are six months old! A whole half a year!
You are still easy going, cuddly, sweet, smiley, and fun. You LOVE people, but especially your daddy. Your face LIGHTS up when daddy walks in and you start "panting!" If you are near a person, you are 100x happier than by yourself (go figure haha).
Stats from this month:
Weight: 17lbs 2oz, 38%
Length: 26in, 20%
Head: 45cm, 89%
When they first weighed you you were 14lbs 13oz...which was like THIRD percentile. Dee dee (your pediatrician) was like...NO WAY, he is not failure to thrive, we need to weigh again. Good thing because the scale was very wrong and we got your correct weight! GROWING BOY! You are not a huge boy, but you are perfect!
You are an eater...wow! You LOVE food...I mean LOVE! You eat oatmeal almost every AM and then you have had almost all the fruits and vegetables by now. You have loved everything, well almost, you only tolerate prunes, they're not your favorite. You have also had baked potato, a fruit popsicle, little pieces of bread, etc. You are obsessed by "real food."
Your schedule:
6:30-7: Wake and eat
8:00 oatmeal
9:00 nap
11:00 eat
2:00 eat
2:00 nap
4:30 eat
5:30 eat a fruit or veggie
7:00 eat and then bed
When you take a bottle it is usually 5 oz.
You have been sleeping great through the night this month! Occasionally you wake up and fuss, but you end up going back to sleep on your own.
No teeth yet! But you are gnawing on everything and drooling, so we will see!
You started sitting up like a pro right before your six month bday. You can stay seated by yourself for as long you want...we've done up to 20-30 minutes playing.
You are SO smiley and giggly! You love to laugh at your big brother, he barely has to do anything! He loves you so much!
You are wearing size 6-9 month clothes and size 2 diaper. Those size 2s are getting snug, I am thinking I will skip 3s and go straight to 4s!
You love to babble and make all kinds of noises. If you're upset you do love to scream :)
Likes: Banks, standing, water, swimming, sitting up, food/puffs, tiger, bath time, "rough housing," nursing
Dislikes: being on your back, being left alone too long, stinky diapers, bottles at bedtime
I think this month especially you are starting to get your own look. You are looking less and less like big brother and more like your own man! GG and I were laughing and saying you have a "ruggedly handsome" look going on! Your eyes are a beautiful blue, I hope they stay that way!
You love your exersaucer! You have really started to play with toys and put them in your mouth. You can pass an object between hands now, too.
We love your personality! You are going to be so much fun...but probably a little crazy too! You are constantly flipping and squirming when held. You love to "be crazy" and "rough house!" There is nothing that scares you.
We can't believe we have had a whole half a year with you! We love you so much, Walker!
