Baby J {7 Months}

 

2016 is in the books and boy did it go quickly! Jordan is 7 months old now and growing like a weed. I think he learns a new trick weekly at this rate. This was a huge month for him developmentally.

7 Month Favorites::

Food - He has finally warmed up to baby food. He also is loving puffs and those dissolvable fruit/veggie sticks.

Climbing on EVERYTHING - nothing is safe anymore. He's an explorer.

Stats:: 

We don't go back to the doctor until 9 months

Height: ??

Weight: around 17 lbs

Teeth: None but lots and lots of drool!

Clothes: 6 month. Also some 6-9 month! I just went through his closet and got rid of a bunch of clothes that are too small. He is close to growing out of all the 6 month things, but the 9 month are still a little too big!

Signature Moves:: 

{Crawling}
He started crawling shortly after he turned 6 months old. He got up to his knees, started rocking back and forth and then put it all together and crawled within a week I think. Quick learner.

{Pulling Up}

He went from crawling to pulling himself up on things within another week. Now he climbs

Sleeping::

{Night time} 

 He pretty much sleeps through the night! We had a week this month where he was pretty sick and was waking up once but other than that he does 6:30pm-5:30(6)am most of the time!

{Naps}

We are still using the sleep schedule for the most part. Awake for 2 hour increments. He isn't sleeping as long anymore. They are more like 45 min - 1.5 hour naps these days. 2-3 naps a day depending on the length.

Eating::

He is still eating the Alimentium Hypoallergenic Formula. He does about 5 bottles during the day. He eats 6 oz bottles at each feeding.

Favorite Foods: Bananas, Sweet Potatoes, Apples, Pears, Puffs!

Misc::

{Christmas}

Christmas was really fun this year with Kaylee! Jordan was crawling and climbing all over the place and mostly just wanted to eat the paper. Kaylee had fun opening all his gifts :) They are spoiled kiddos!

We love you baby boy, more than you will know. You have so many people that just adore you! We are growing and learning so quick! I hope that you are always as adventurous and inquisitive as you are now!

Baby J {6 months}

A little late but here are Jordans updates from when he turned 6 months. He's a smiley, happy little boy most of the time and of course  time is flying by!! 

6 Month Favorites::

Rolling everywhere - He is close to crawling but this is his primary means of transportation.

All of his sisters toys - I see many fights in our future.

Stats:: 

Height: 27 in (50th %tile)

Weight: 16lbs 14oz (40th %tile)

Teeth: None but lots and lots of drool!

Clothes: 6 month. Also some 6-9 month!

Signature Moves:: 

{Crawling stance}

He can get up to his hands and knees and can move his arms and knees but can't quiet get this sync down to move! He mostly face plants!

{Sitting up by himself}

Sits up and plays by himself although he would much rather be rolling or crawling!

Sleeping::

{Night time} 

 He will either wake up once in the night or not at all. He goes to bed anywhere from 6:00-6:45pm and will wake up around 6:00 most mornings!

{Naps}

He takes about three naps a day. Sometimes 2, if they are longer. Awake about 2 hours at a time.

Eating::

He is still eating the Alimentium Hypoallergenic Formula. He does about 5-6 bottles during the day. He eats 6 oz bottles at each feeding. He still occasionally gets up 1 time to eat in the middle of the night (2-3 am) and that bottle is about 3 oz. 

We started solids and it was a slow go. He wasn't really into eating at first but the more we tried the more he warmed up to it. His favorites are bananas and sweet potatoes!

Misc::

{Halloween}

Halloween was so much fun. Since he goes to bed so early, I wasn't sure if he would make it to trick or treat but he did. We dressed him in a hand me down dinosaur costume. He was so cute!

{Thanksgiving}

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Nana and Papaw's house. It was really nice to see family that we don't see very often! 

We spent most of the month sick! Several colds and a stomach bug. But that also meant I got lots of baby snuggles...

I'm soaking in all the baby snuggles I can because time is absolutely rushing past me. I won't have a baby much longer. We love you sweet boy. Don't grow too fast!
