6 months

The cutest, sweetest, snuggliest little boy in the whole world turned 6 months old on September 12th.



On Tuesday we went for his checkup (and shots, boo). He's 17 pounds (still!), 27 inches long, and his head circumference is 17.5 inches.




He's getting around quickly these days! He's crawled a few times, but prefers to scoot around instead. We often find him up on his toes, tush in the air and balancing on his head - this kid wants up on his feet! He's doing a lot of "talking," but his only real word so far is "Momma."




Naps happen in his crib now, instead of the cosleeper bed in our bedroom where he sleeps at night. My plan was to transition him to his room/crib around 6 months. However, he's still waking 3-4 times per night to nurse, so it's easier on all of us to have him stay a while longer. While I wish he would sleep in longer stretches, I have to confess I like having an excuse to keep him nearby (last baby syndrome?!?)

Naps are few and far between these days. We haven't fully adjusted to our new school schedule - he's usually ready for a nap right around the time that I have to take Evyn to school. By the time we get back from dropping her off, he often catches a second wind and doesn't nap until late afternoon!




And of course, no Andrew update is complete without a flash back to pictures of Evyn at the same age. Here she is, at 6 months old (October 2004):
