Bubber roo is now 6 months old… wow did that go by quick! We celebrated with a half party for him yesterday with lots of goodies and no presents- just a day to celebrate our family, with our family. He has a new love for pureed pears and today tasted jello for the first time... YUMMMY as he bangs his hands on his highchair for more!
He has favorite toys now- and loves his blue blankie… if that is not around he will steal his sisters to chew on J Lay him down to sleep and give him a blanket and guaranteed he will pull it up to his chin to sleep! He has 1 tooth.. an odd one on the bottom and will grab a finger or knuckle from anyone near to gnaw on. I still haven’t given him a haircut and don’t want to J He is still a barrel of laughs and giggles and has a trademark finger sucking move in almost every picture we take of him.
Belly time is getting easier- but his Buddha belly prevents him from having much fun as his legs and arms are in the air J He has flipped over on his own a few times. His sleep patterns vary and I think he is going through another spurt or something as his night time 9-13 hour sleep patterns have turned to 1-2 hours.
His love for his sister has not changed. Sophie is getting better with being nice to him and letting him look at things- and sometimes even laugh before yelling at him J There is such a love that he has for her- he lights up and smiles. If she is upset, he will get upset.
Weigh in and check up happen in a few days- I'm betting he is pushing over 20 pounds. Ham hocks for thighs, tires for wrists and marshmallows for cankles.
He knows his family- and he loves his mommy. In his sleep you can hear him say moooommmmmma… and there is NOTHING like your baby reaching out intentionally to caress your face and look into your eyes – at that moment nothing else matters… he loves me and he knows he is loved J
