6 months

Has it already been 6 months? He's really halfway there to being 1? It feels like just yesterday he was born. He has grown so much and is getting so smart. He is rolling back and forth easily all day, he sits unsupported for about a minute... til he falls over, he's scooting all over the place, grabbing everything in sight, can stand with help for about 2 minutes, and eats baby food like a champ. I've been doing store bought baby food because I didn't want to make batches of foods he'd end up not liking like with Tristan. We just finished trying every single stage 1 fruits and veggies and our good to go list looks like this: squash, sweet potatoes, peas, pears, apples, peaches, bananas, and mashed potatoes (I had made some and let him try it). I attempted some of the veggie mixes and he was not for it. His flat spot is improving greatly!  He's currently teething also but when he's not being cranky because of that, he's just a ball of sunshine and is always smiling. He's also still a cuddler which makes this momma happy. Tristan hardly ever liked to cuddle except when he was sick. 

Height: now I'm waiting til we got to the WIC office for this because they told us at the doctor's he was 24.5inches but at 4 months was almost 25. Also since he fits perfectly in 6-9 months pjs, yeah his height is incorrect. 

Weight: 16lbs so he has gained 2lbs in 2 months and is in 25th-50th percentile. He's so tiny compared to what I thought he was.

Clothes: 3-6 months onesies still and we upgraded to 3-6 months pants. We also upgraded to 6-9 months sleepers, sweaters (so much more room for him), and overalls. He also still fits in his 1.5 size shoes. 

Sleep: He's once again sleeping 10+ hours a night plus naps. Some of you have seen me mention about his lack of sleep the past month.


And here's some cuteness for you guys from this kid:

Is this really how much he's changed in 6 months?

First sippy cup

Big brother just HAD to hold him.

He's in love with his walker

Him at 4 months:

Look at big brother at this age... they are just complete opposites:

Their dad saw them on Easter and took Tristan for part of the day and seriously thought Emmett had gotten a haircut. I had to explain that no, it's all still there, it's just turning blond. Also, I get so sad when I bag up his old clothes and sell/ give away them. Maybe it's knowing that there's a 90% chance he's my last. I know everyone says says that the future can change and I may meet someone and fall in love again but let's face... single moms have a hard time finding good guys and I'm not the type to "date around" and I have no plans to wait around for Mr. Perfect to show up. So, this momma focuses on her babies, on teaching them and cherishing every moment. They are the most important people in my life.
