{{6 Months of Finn }}

Saturday, December 12, 2015

Another month has gone by and this one is a biggy. We are officially at the half of a year old mark. Six months old, six months young, six months of pure sugar, six of the best months we've ever had in our lives.
  
Developmental Milestones:

Eating two "meals" of puree a day.

Wiggling all around on the floor to get where/what he wants.

Sitting up unassisted for about a minute before toppling over

Grabbing ANYTHING and EVERYTHING he is interested in (and then putting it in his mouth).

Has officially outgrown one of his swings. :(

Reaching for momma, daddy, gramma, and his papa.

Cooing and babbling up a storm.

Throwing things on the floor and then watching them on the ground until someone is able to come pick it up, in which he then throws it on the ground again. :)



Looks Like: Daddy mostly, but again starting to see more of myself in his face around his little mouth.
Eating: 5-7 oz. every 2.5 hours plus 2 pureed meals of a fruit/veggie and single grain oatmeal.
Weighs: 18.9 lbs.

Inches: 27 1/2


Play: Is really interested in anything he can reach out for and actually accomplish grabbing, mainly, interested in things that are not his toys (remote, phones, I-pad). Loves his exersaucer, playing with toys on his belly, and anything that allows him to be in motion.
Sleep: Still some nights of struggle, but for the most part he's back to only getting up once in the middle of the night for a feeding (typically 2am).

Size: 6-9  to 9 month clothes. Size 3 diapers.

Hair: Blondie. More and more each day. It's so soft I just rub my cheeks all over that fuzz.

Eyes: BLUE. <3


What He Loves: 

Putting all things in his mouth

Reading (chewing on) books

The movie "Home"

Bath time

Dancing with momma

Avocados

Currently obsessed with our kitty Jappetto

Grabbing cheeks and pulling us in for wet smooches



What he DOES NOT love:
When he can't put something in to his mouth. Fury.

Quirks:

If he's really super drowsy and fighting sleep, all I really have to do is press my cheek or lips against his and he's out.

Loves to be scared still.

Breathes like a little bull, really fast if he's excited.

In the morning he's the happiest little lamb there ever was.

Bangs his hands on the tray in front of him EVERY time I put him in his highchair now. Demanding little bugger.

Turns his head to the left after every bite of food.

After 5 months of fighting you every time we tried to hold him like a baby, he now prefers to be rocked in "cradle" position.

Screeches when super excited.

Sticks his tongue out frequently and tries to mimic "spitting."





SIX MONTHS of pure BLISS, that's what this has been little bubba.
