6 month update

So hard to believe that my baby boy is already 6 MONTHS old! It's a bittersweet day for me. I want him to stay little and stop growing so fast, but at the same time I LOVE watching him grow into such a sweet, happy little boy! Happy Half Birthday Reeden!
 Height/Weight: He weighs 18 lbs 8 oz. 28 in long and his head circumference is 44 cm. That put him in the 95th percentile for his height and 75th for weight and head. He's definitely a growing boy:) He is wearing 6-9 months, 6-12 months and 9 months clothing, depending on brand.

Daily: His routine has definitely changed! He was taking 3 or 4 naps a day, but now he has one big nap (2 hours) mid-day and another in the afternoon. This does vary, but most days that's his schedule.  He still loves jumping in his exersaucer, or any where for that matter(ie: my lap, crib, changing table) haha. He is pretty much content sitting on his play mat, couch, or play pen with his toys:) He "talks" all the time,(even when no one's around) I love to stand in the next room and listen to him jabber away! He can now say mama, dada, and baba. He is such a happy baby.

Bedtime: We have finally put him in his crib :(  He still sleeps through the night, but here lately has been waking up once to eat, then goes back to bed? Maybe just a growth spurt.

Eating: He is still eating 3 baby food meals a day, along with 6 oz of formula, usually every 4-5 hours. We are now in 2nd foods, lots of new flavors! I'm excited to see how he does with them!  He is taking his bottle better this month, I think he was teething so much last month, and that affected his eating.
Milestones: He has 2 teeth! I'm sure another is about to show up, he has been attacking anything he can get to his mouth!
Saying mama and dada and baba. Along with jabbers this is usually what you hear from him and I LOVE IT!
Has learned to squeal! Talking, crying,happy,sad there's usually squealing involved!
Of course jumping! He could go all day! The boy has energy!
Sits up on his own. He was doing this last month too.
Sleeping in his crib. I think this was harder on me, than on him!
Growls! He has been doing this for a while also
Snorts- Instead of laughing he does this and it's the CUTEST thing I have ever seen!
I think this pretty much covers everything for his 6 months! We are truly blessed to have such a happy and healthy baby.
