So it's been a busy few weeks.
On March 12
th William turned 6 months! I cant' even believe it already. While I was pregnant 6 months crept by, and now that he's here it's been nothing but time a
flyin'!
A few weeks ago I was reading something baby related and it said that you should allow your baby to be a "tripod" and let them try to sit on their own with out support. Obviously though, I watched him and was there to catch him. Anyway I set him on the floor and lo and behold he sat all by himself for like 15 seconds! I was amazed. He does tend to lean forward a lot while doing this, but sometimes he sits up pretty well too. It must be all those stomach crunches he does when he's lying down, and wants to sit up and waits for someone to prop him up!
I've started him on real baby food. So far he has had applesauce which is probably his least favorite. He's also had bananas, squash, and sweet potatoes. He eats half a container at a sitting. Its hit or miss when we give it to him so he's still nursing the majority of the time. He throws up rice cereal when Scott gives it to him, so I'm going to ask the doctor about it when we go at the end of the month, and maybe switch him out to something other than the rice version.
He laughs a lot, and loud and it's possibly the cutest thing ever! He smiles his big gummy smile a ton now too. Yup gummy...he has no teeth yet, and none are poking through, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't slobber and chew on anything his little fingers can bring to his mouth!
He wears size 3 diapers.
Clothing totally depends. I have 3-6 month pants that fit well, and 6 month pants that are too short, and 9 month pants that also fit well. Who knows. I do think he has a big head though, some shirts and
onsies are hard to fit over his noggin'.
He really likes to be sang to and laughs and smiles when you make him dance to the song also.
Lately I think his time clock is all messed up. This daylight savings has had the opposite effect on him. He used to go to bed at 7 now he goes to bed at 6. Which means he's up at like 6 a.m. when I'm trying to sleep! He wakes to feed at least 3 times in the middle of the night, and doesn't eat much during the day with Scott. Oh well...it's less pumping for me to do and hassle with while at work.
I'll post stats after we go to the next doctor appointment. I think at his latest vitamin D he was just under 18lbs and was 25 and 5/8 inches long.
I'll take pics when I find my camera after unloading boxes.
I turned the big 25 on March 13! I worked the morning and came home to back up in Mt. Pleasant. My wonderful parents were there to help pack and even brought me out to supper! The next day a lot of family helped us pack and move to Solon, where we now live and love the 10 min drive to work as opposed to an hour drive!
Nothing else is new, we just need to finish unpacking and settle in, I'll eventually post pictures, I promise. We're waiting for Scott to start working at Brueggers, and I'm really settling into my job at the North Liberty Pizza Ranch!
