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.

To my Mom
Sometimes I wonder how I could survive without you. I am so thankful to have a mom who is not only my mother, but my friend. You have always been there for me, cheering me on when no one else would. Now that I am a mother too, it only intensifies my love for you. I now see the many sacrifices you have made for me. You always put your children first, no matter what! I can only strive to be the mother to my son, that you have been to me. I Love You!
My 1st Mother's Day
It seems funny that a national holiday is dedicated to us when, it's "them" who make us what we are. I feel a little biased celebrating this holiday having been blessed with the incredible gift of loving this life we created, but at the same time I want to share my joy, my gratitude, my love with everyone! There are so many wonderful people, craving this unearthly motherly love feeling, and haven't been able to taste it. Motherhood is a constant, beautiful journey. I don't need gifts or material things. Reeden is my greatest gift, and no joy can compare with that of his simple existence. It's not my day, but his, for loving him is what makes me happy.
Happy Mother's Day! I hope you all feel adored, appreciated, valued and honored! And for those who have lost or are longing, please know I remember you, and believe you deserve to be celebrated too!
