Loves: People, he's always trying to wiggle and squirm so he can see what's going on. He loves bath time and swim lessons and sitting at the table for dinner just like the rest of us. He's such a happy social baby that its kinda hard to pin point one thing 😁
Hates: being still. He can't stay still for more than a few seconds. When we lay him on the floor he immediately rolls on to his belly and gets up on all fours and attempts to move and get toys, on the changing table he's always grabbing and rolling, in his high chair he's babbling and wiggling, everywhere he is he is in constant motion. I have a feeling he's going to be a handful when he starts walking lol
Milestones: He's rolling over both directions with an abundance of confidence though he prefers to be on his belly. He's also begging to sit. He's not great at it so at his 6 month check up I asked the doctor to make sure his hips and knees are ok. When we sit him up he locks his knees and rounds his back and rolls over his hips. We're constantly telling him to sit up straight lol. But she gave him a clean bill of health and after seeing him said that he probably isn't sitting great because he can't hold still long enough to do it. He'd rather roll to the side and onto his belly and attempt crawling. So he'll get there. He might crawl before he sits but to each their own lol.
Sleep: Awesome! I give him his last bottle at 7:30 then some gentle rocking and then I lay him down in his crib. He's usually asleep by the time I bing Jack in to do bedtime stories. I was trying to put them down together but it was just too difficult so this seems to be working better. He's also pretty much given up his 4AM binkie trouble. They both wake up around 5:30 now which is terrible but our usual work wake up time so I can't blame them. One day they'll understand weekends.
Eating: He eats 4-5 6-8oz bottles a day and 3 puree meals. So far we've tried all kinds of fruits and veggies and he seems to enjoy them all except spinach, but can you blame him? So far I haven't mustered up the energy to make my own baby food this time around but there are a few I'd like to introduce to him like cauliflower but we'll see. Also this weekend we are going to start introducing peanut butter! I know it's pretty crazy but the thoughts around this in the medical community are changing and they now recommend introducing allergen foods a lot earlier. So we're going to smear a small thing layer on his binkie and let him suck on it and see how he does. I thought about smearing a little on a spoon and letting him suck on it but previously he tried to choke himself with his spoon so I'm not sure lol.
Teething: nothing yet but the drool is ever present so we're just waiting!
