is growing up too fast!! How can he be 6 months next month???? I might
have to freeze time next month.
Size- According to my scale, Henry weighs 15 pounds. We will get the official report
next month at his 6 month checkup. He is wearing 3-6 month clothes and some 6
month outfits. Henry is still wearing size 2 diapers.
Development- Henry has developed so much this month. His biggest
achievement is rolling over. He can now roll from his back to his
stomach. We were thrilled with his new ability until he started
rolling in his crib. He would roll over and become angry that he was
on his tummy with no way to roll back on to his back. So, we went
through some rough days where it would take him quite awhile to fall
asleep. Maybe, he will learn to roll in the other direction this
month. He moves all over his crib. You can put him down in one spot
and he will be no where near that spot when you go in to get him. He
is a mover!!!
Just recently, Henry has started sitting for a few seconds by himself.
He wants to sit so badly. If he is in the bouncy seat or reclined then
he tries his hardest to pull himself up into a sitting position. He is
really working his abs.
Henry must be strapped into bouncy seats, swings, etc. because he is
now able to slide himself out. This little man has to be watched
closely because he will try to escape.
He loves his doorway jumper!! He swings himself around in it. He loves
being able to spin. He isn't jumping yet but I am sure he will figure
it out soon enough.
Henry is still chatting us up. He has a very loud voice like his momma.
Personality- Henry is becoming a touchy, feely boy. When seated next
to other babies, he has to touch them. He evens try to eat them
sometimes. One of his favorite things to do is touch faces. He loves
to grab noses, mouths, etc,. Watch out!! He has also been know to suck
on your face.
His attention span is pretty short. He becomes bored and then upset if
he stays in the same activity for too long.
We love his giggles and smiles!!!
Eating- Henry eats about every 2 1/2 - 3 hours, which is about 5-6
times per day. Henry has tried rice cereal but wasn't a fan of it. I'm
not sure if he doesn't like it because it is bland or if he isn't
ready for solids yet. He will be trying solids in the weeks to come.
Sleeping- Henry is still sleeping 11-12 hours at night!! His bedtime
is 7:30 if we are home and he normally wakes up around 7:15. Sometimes
earlier and sometimes later. Naps are still a work in progress. He is
still taking 4 naps. His wake time is about 11/2- 2 hours. Most naps
are about 45 minutes and one is longer like 1 1/2 - 3 hours. I am
still hopeful that next month will bring longer and fewer naps,
please!!!
Likes/dislikes- Henry loves hearing his voice!! He LOVES blowing raspberries!!!
He likes swinging in his doorway jumper. Henry is now able to sit up in the stroller
and I think he enjoys the view more than from his carseat. He still LOVES baths!
He loves his feet and is having fun trying to put them in his mouth. He dislikes
having his diaper changed first thing in the morning when he wakes up because he
is hungry.
Milestones/Firsts- Henry experienced his first Christmas!! He went to
the church nursery for the first time and did great! He rolled over
from his back to his stomach. He sat for a few seconds by himself.
Henry enjoyed (maybe not) his first solid. He completed his first sit
up.
