6 Months: Wesley

Half a Year? Wowsers! It's crazy how time flies!! Here are some updates on our little man:

Weight: 16 lbs 9 oz (25%)
Height: 27.2 inches (75%)
Head: 17.5 (80%)

*Wears size 3 diapers and size 9 month clothes
*Loves to "talk." He says "dada" which puts Ryan over the moon. I have to remind him that he has no idea what that means, so it doesn't count as his first word :) haha!
*He is an awesome napper! Still taking 3 naps during the day, although he has some days where he only takes 2. I think nap #3 will be phasing out soon.
*Doesn't like sleeping through the night, which is a total bummer because I miss it. We started letting him "cry it out" a couple of days ago, so hopefully soon! *UPDATE: As of 12/11, he has slept through the night (from 8-7) three days in a row. I'm really hoping this lasts. I just decided he doesn't need to be eating in the middle of the night anymore, so no more middle of the night feedings. I think once he realized he isn't getting fed anyway, he just started putting himself back to bed. I really hope this sticks around.
*Sitting up like a pro. He loves to sit up and play with toys. In fact, if I lay him down to play, he gets kinda mad.
*Can roll from tummy to back and from back to tummy, although he doesn't do either very often. He does it most when he is happy and playing with a toy that gets just out of reach.
*Gets up on his hands when he's on his tummy (not quite up on his knees yet)
*Eating a bunch of veggies and fruits and has also had a couple of cheerios. He didn't know what to make of those at first. Funny boy. He is funny because if he knows food is coming, you can't get it to him fast enough. He gets so fussy when he sees me opening food, but there is none going in his mouth. Smart little man of mine!
*Loves his sister. He is entering into the distracted stage where if he is eating and he hears her talking or singing (which is always) he has to look at her and give her a big grin! They are such good buds, its darling.
*Loves to be tickled and loves it when you give him your undivided attention (which sadly, isn't very often...) But he will talk and smile and laugh if you give him your attention.
*Still has the most beautiful blue eyes. ...Swoon...
*Loves, loves, loves his bath. He will just splash all around and smile up at me. It's darling and fabulous!
