A half a year has passed in what feels like a blink! And yet I get sad trying to remember what he was like as a newborn: his tiny hands, movements, soft cry, sweet baby face. I'm afraid that I'll forget my newborn and only be able to remember this baby that is growing and learning new things every day!
From 5-6 months Bradley:
- rolls all over the place
- has perfected the arch/ fit
- loves/prefers to stand up
- squeals and gurgles constantly
- if he's rested and fed he is the happiest smiliest little guy
- still not quite sitting up. He's physically capable, but is too interested in everything he lunges forward.
- started rice cereal and does good but thinks its pretty bland.
- still impatient when hungry for a bottle
- chunked up after he was introduced solids.
- eyes have changed to brown after long wondering if they'd be blue or green.
- loves to be thrown or bonked on the head with a pillow.
- still eats and grabs his toes all the time, even when your holding him
- feet are too small for 0-3 month shoes
- doc says his dry skin is eczema
- holds his own bottle like a champ.
- puts his arm around you when you hold him.
- a very social baby
- started a serious red poop face
- reaches for everything in sight
- started on rice cereal and carrots- loves it
- 4th percentile on weight at 6 mo appointment (14.4lbs)
My sweet baby boy,
You have been the best baby! I think your dad and I were spoiled when you came to us. You have a happy demeanor and love attention! I hope you carry that on as you grown up and be a leader as your friends and younger siblings look to you for an example. I love your innocence and playfulness. Your smile that greets us in the morning is priceless! The perfect start to a day for me. As much as I love you, I get a much needed rest from my job as constant entertainer while you nap. But by the time it's time to get up I am rejuvenated and ready to party! You still make me feel like your favorite when you shake your whole body when I walk into the room! Each day you teach me love, excitement, patience, and devotion. You are my world and I love you more than you know!
Lots of love,
Your mama
