Month 6

Hey Reid,

Yep, you're still getting cooler every day! You are a busy, determined little guy. You are now constantly rocking on your hands and knees - trying to crawl. You don't sit still unless you're pretty well asleep. You flail and hit your hand on your leg as you eat. You waller around in bed to fall asleep, you roll and scoot all over the place. So busy.

You already keep us on your toes and I know you'll just get busier. You love to jump and roll. Your favorite past time is still eating. You put everything in your mouth and flash the warmest smiles.

I love you so much and am beyond thankful I get to come home to you each day. Thanks for always making my day and for being patient with us when we mess up. Love you, Love you, Love you!!!

Mama

Highlights:

• You began to show a desire for solid foods.

• You got two teeth in less than 24 hours - the two bottom front ones!! The left one came in the evening of May 10 and the right the afternoon of May 11 - 23 weeks old.

• You got your first diaper rash - May 19. =(

• I started weaning during the last week and a half so you started getting some formula each day along with breast milk.

• You had your first food other than milk - oatmeal - on May 21. You weren't particularly interested. The next night, I made it a little thicker and it was a different story. You ate it right up!

• Then, you tried sweet potatoes, then peas, then carrots. You even had a tiny taste of avocado 

• You really started rocking back and forth on your hands and knees. All. The. Time. You wanted to crawl but just didn't quite get to it. 

• Right along with that, you were still a wild mess that could not hold still. =)

• You wore size 6-9 on up to 12-months - especially towards the end of the month.

• You still wore size 3 diapers along with your cloth diapers.

• You worked at holding your bottle more.

• You still rolled and scooted all over the place.

• You started to be more aware of when we'd leave the room and there were a few times when you just wanted your mama. As hard as we've worked to set you up for independence, it warms my heart when just every now and then you want me. =)

• You became even louder with your chatting and laughing.

• You dropped the pacifier again at night. You slept really well for the most part but still woke up about once a night for a diaper change or some quick comforting.

• You loved to jump and got way into your jumperoo. Your legs move constantly.

• You started flailing your arm when you eat.

• You noticed Peety more.
