Andrew is 6 months!


Andrew's Height: 27 in (69th percent)
Andrew's Weight: 18lbs 11 oz (70th percent)
Andrew's Head: 44 cm (54%)

ahhh....six months. where has the time gone?

I ask myself, "why don't my clothes fit?" "Why am still getting up three times a night?" "why is life still not back to normal?" I often use the "I just had a baby" excuse, but, alas. It is officially NOT okay to use that line anymore. Dang it.

As long as he is changed, fed and rested he is the happiest little guy on the earth. He is so easy to get to smile. He loves porter! He makes us smile and laugh all day long. We love our little Andra! He makes us all so happy and we just love this little guy!

Even with his stomach problems, his skin issues, his wanting to eat every hour, his wanting to sleep with mom and dad every night, his needing a binky, but using ma for comfort instead--we still wouldn't trade this sweet boy in!

For the last couple of months we have resorted to using the car seat as his bed. We have worked on timing his feedings and not allowing him to fall asleep while nursing. We have conquered all of these things and as of Sunday night, he cries himself to sleep in the crib! This has been a miracle because only 2 short months ago he would cry for hours and never fall asleep in the crib! Somehow, it has happened. His stomach is cured, his sleeping habits are cured. Now all we need is for him to stop waking up to eat and we will be back to a fairly normal life.

He hates rice cereal. But he hated being on his tummy and last month he just started rolling around.

I have decided that Andrew does what he wants, when he wants. He's got his own time table.

Oh he's so cute. I still wake up almost every night with one of my kids. They share a room and are both the lightest sleepers.
Sounds like things are improving for you and your baby. Good luck.
