Baby Nash is 6 months old!

Munchkin you have made it to 6 months!

Where has the past six months gone.

We grow more in love with you everyday.

Everyday brings new experiences and excitement.

Stats: Weight - 18 lbs 12 oz 75%

Length - 21.5 in 90%

You are growing so fast. Just last month you were below 50% in height and now you are in the 90%! 

Woooo Hooooo

You are one solid boy.  Not a lot of fat to pinch but just solid.

You still have your Daddy's body and your hair seems to be growing in a little.

There is still that bald spot on the back of your head, but it seems like the hair is growing a little at a time.

Eating: You are still eating about 6 oz of formula every 3-4 hours.

We tried to switch you off of the soy formula and it was a no go. You spit up everywhere and cried from pain. I guess we will stick to what is working.

The doctor put you on some medicine for your reflex and it seems to be working.

This is a huge blessing because our house was starting to smell like spit up all the time.

Hopefully, your tummy will calm down and we will not have to be on the medicine for very long.

Solid foods are going really well. You are on stage two and eat all solids.

We tried some puffs and melts, but you are still a little too young for them.

Sleep: Oh sweet boy, you have started to sleep through the night. Thank you God!

You are on a pretty good schedule.  

Two naps during the day: 9 am - 10:30

12:30 - 2

Then you usually go to bed around 7 and wake up around 6:15.

We still swaddle the bottom half of you and then cover you with Nana's quilt.

You sleep with your turtle or lady bug stars night light and the football night light.

You usually go down with no problem and are very grateful to be going to sleep.

When Daddy or I go and check on you, you have moved yourself up to the top of the crib, usually in the corner and have smashed your head into the side of the crib, with your hands touching both sides of the bed. You are one funny kid.

Developmental steps: You have rolled over from both your tummy to your back and from your back to your tummy. However, you will not roll over all the time.  When you are on your back, you will roll your entire body except for your arm over and then roll back to your back. I think you have decided it is a game to see how far you can get before you actually roll over. It is very funny to watch.

You move everywhere. I can put you on the activity matt and you will have squirmed your way right off of it.

The activity matt has become your jungle gym. You pull down the sides with both your hands and feet.

Sitting has been a struggle.  You sit with the assistance of the boppy and with Daddy or me. You can lean forward while sitting and then pull yourself back up. One strong cookie you are.

You smile all the time and laugh often.

You love to pull Daddy's hair (this is because I will not let you pull mine).

Your little hands love to touch our faces, it is so precious.

 Teething: Yes we are in full swing.  The doctor said that both the tops and bottoms are swollen.  This should be fun.  Your fingers are in your mouth all the time and you try eat anything that you can get to your mouth.

Toys: Your favorites are:

Jump Jump

Activity Matt

Rolly Polly Snail

Fire Truck

Noni's drum (it lights up and makes noise)

Any rattle

The paper on the examining table at the doctor's office

The tree outside

Sounds: You love to squeal out of delight.

You say Hiiiiiiiii

We are trying to get you to say momma and dadda

You talk yourself to sleep.

Everyone that gets to spend time with you say that you are a talker and I would have to agree.

Firsts: You went to Sunday School

Daddy gave you some ice cream(I told him not too but he thought it was funny) No More!!!

You had your first cold

Slept through the night

Road trip with just Momma (to Noni's house)

You are a very deep thinker and HATE loud noises. You get startled very easily which is not so fun.

Daddy and I have been working on this by clapping and making loud noises at home to try to get you use to some noise.

We upgraded your car seat this month. Momma could not carry you in the carrier anymore. This also meant we had to buy a new light weight stroller! You love your new car seats and new stroller.

Happy Six Months Nasherson! 

We love you and cannot wait to see what the next six months hold for you!
