Baby Man's First Year {Truett 5 & 6 months}

My baby is now 6 months.

How does this happen so fast?

Ugh. Excuse me while I go squish him, before he's 16...

Truey bear...you are uncontainable joy in a tiny package.

At 5 months, you love moving your hands around & around, like revving a motorcycle.

While your hands wiggle, your right foot kicks like crazy.

You smile at any and everyone who talks to you.

Which makes them want to keep on & on. Like your sister & brother, who, once they know you'll smile at something they do, NEVER stop. They love you & it is sweet.

You've also started grabbing for things you want within reach.

You still say da-da all the time, but now you love to screech it too.

You also make lots of other sounds, & it's so fun to hear.

Your rolling has not stopped & at 5 months you are still waking up once a night to eat.

You're also wearing 6-12 month clothes & are in a size 3 diaper.

The size your sister wore at a year.

Whatever. ;)

And...you're starting to prefer your mom.

Melt my heart.

 Now. 6 months, my man, has changed you.

You are now sleeping 9 hours at night, just all of a sudden dropping your middle of the night feeding.

*Babywise rocks*

That also means, you've officially moved into your room; nap & night.

I'm still not crazy about that.

 You've started sitting more independently, love to dive forward for a toy, & can roll your way to something you want.

You've started eating oatmeal cereal...slowly.

Partly because you're not crazy about it, partly because I'm being lazy.

Sorry bud...I'll work on that;).

 You are a smiling machine.

Gummy grins fill our days & we all love it.

You had your first fever this month (sad), your first Thanksgiving (oh my, you were loved on), & have invented a new favorite past time: putting your fist in your mouth & moving it back & forth while you yell. Makes an awesome sound.

Impressive my son... & it totally thrills your sister & brother.

 Your hair is filling in a lot more now.

I like to spike it in front, but your spike is getting too long now.

We've embraced the combed over look, which, is, I must say, totally adorable on your sweet head.

You've also started a new wiggle dance.

You do it while we hold you, while you sit in a seat & when you're rolling around on the floor.

I can't decide if it's a dance or if you're trying to move.

I'm going with dancing.

Cuz it's awesome if it's dancing:).

You are an amazing baby, my Truett.

Completely grateful you're ours.

Happy 1/2 a year!
