Half a year old! How is this possible??? Weston had a fun sixth month, starting to eat and taking his first trip via airplane to the beach. He LOVES to talk ... what am I going to do with three kids who want to talk all the time??? He loves to be right in the middle of whatever any of us are doing, and if he's not, he protests loudly. He has a sweet sense of humor and already loves it when he makes Addie and Hutch laugh. They love to make him laugh, too. And that giggle is contagious.
Weston is such a water baby, obviously fitting. He still loves to nurse although he barely has time for it amidst everything else he has to watch and do. He is constantly on the move and is getting harder and harder to hold on to. It's like he wants to jump out of our arms and run! I remember two other people being exactly the same way ... He is starting to scoot around and can roll across the room faster than you can imagine (trust me). He's wearing mostly 12 month clothes, still a few 9 month outfits. We are so crazy about this baby boy!
Weight: ~16 pounds
Length: 22 inches
New things:
- Eating food! He tried green beans first and found them slightly questionable. He actually warmed up to eating faster that I imagined he would and now is mostly a fan. His favorite is banana and prunes. He tolerates green beans and peas. Sweet potatoes and avocados are for the birds.
- Sitting in his high chair, eating at breakfast and dinner, and just hanging out at lunch.
- Scooting/inch worming, coupled with lots of rolling, to get where he wants to go. He's speedy!
- Babbling lots and lots, especially in the car. Still loves to say dadadada best. Whatever.
- Going to the beach! He was mostly unimpressed with the actual ocean, but did get his feet in a few times. He did like being with all his people.
- Airplane ride! Going and coming to the beach, of course, meant airplane rides. He was excellent!
- Also his first boat ride for a sunset dolphin cruise. Again, unimpressed.
- Sitting unassisted for quite a while before he topples over. ;)
- Sleeping with a lovie.
- A few naps in his actual crib. He still sleeps in our room at night, mostly to avoid us having to go up and down the stairs for all the paci-replacements and early-morning meals.
- Going to bed at 8 p.m. and sleeping from 10pm till 5/6am without a feeding. His nighttime sleep has been pretty good. Naps, however, are not required by Weston's standards.
- Sleeping on his tummy ALWAYS. He is totally my kid.
- Having his own spoon while eating. He prefers to do it himself. Having multiple spoons at the ready during mealtimes has proven a good idea.
- The jumper. Although lately he gets in and jumps out a poop. :)
- Still sucking his thumb sometimes, usually only when he's really sleepy.
- Sophie
- Touch and feel books
- Ocean play mat, although he's usually rolled off of it in 2.3 seconds
- His brother and sister.
- His dog. He loves to roll over to her and play with her feet
- Swimming! He is always up for a dip in the pool
- Nursing al fresco
- Taking baths with brother and sister. Addie is an excellent helper - she usually holds him tight while Jordan or I bathe him
- Spitting his food all over me. Which brother and sister think is hilarious. And that means Weston thinks it's hilarious, too.
- Being out and about, especially in the carrier. Although he's getting more annoyed that he can't see out of it so well.
- Hearing Daddy's voice, especially when he gets home from work
- Holding beach balls in his feet, a la circus baby
- Being held to nap.
Dislikes:
- Naps
- Sweet potatoes and avocado
- Not being held
- When he can't see what brother and sister are doing
