I know everyone says this, but WHERE DOES THE TIME GO? Our baby is almost half a year old!
He continues to grow up and develop in front of our eyes. He reaches for, and grabs, everything near and far. He reaches for people, food, faces, objects, lights, etc. He imitates all facial expressions when you look at him. He absolutely loves Demi now, and always wants to grab her fur, nose, ears. He "talks" constantly and gives the best belly laughs in the world. He can roll from both stomach to back and back to stomach (which he started doing while I was in Nashville). He is constantly chewing his hands and drooling so I'm guessing teeth are in our near future. He has definitely found his feet, and has gotten them to his mouth a few times. He's been sleeping in his crib for about a month, but we had to start swaddling him again because he was fighting sleep. He usually wakes up once a night for a feeding between 3 and 6. He weighs around 17lbs and has the best cheeks for kissing and loving on. And boy does he love being kissed and loved on. He wants someone in his sight at all times, preferably me or Patrick.
He does have a bit of a stubborn side when it comes to Mommy's milk. As much as he loves to eat, you'd think he wouldn't be particular about how he gets fed, but that boy will fight a bottle at the drop of a hat. The sweet ladies a his daycare tell me he fights it about half the time, and if I go out of town he usually goes on bottle strike for the first 12 hours or so I'm gone. Good thing we're working on those solids!
