O my word! How can my baby already be 6 months? Well technically 6 1/2! He really is just the sweetest thing. He has always been a very content and easy going baby, and while he still is, we are entering some new territory with him now eating solids (soooooo not my fav stage!) and being on the move (he's a roller)! He's actually been attempting army crawling so it won't be long now before he is really going! Ahhhhhh.... Help! At his 6 month check he weighed 15 pounds 6 ounces which wasn't a whole lot more than he did at his 4 month check. I remember Judah being this same way at his 6 month check after his 4 month check..... soooo they want to do a weight check in a month just to make sure now that he is on solids that he is gaining a bit more weight. I have waited till the last possible moment to start solids with my last two just because while they are still content only nursing it's just one more thing that once you start, you can't stop! So I feel quite sure that's the reason for slacked off weight gain... plus they always say that babies who nurse level off with gaining weight after a while.
Madsy LOVES being around his brothers and whenever he is anywhere that is remotely quiet will lull himself to sleep. Probably out of boredom since he doesn't experience "quiet" very much around here. He is still NOT the best napper of the bunch, but is getting better. He still does great at night although we will still have stretches sometimes where he cries out at night and we have to go stick his paci back in. I blame this on two things. #1- being spoiled to get that paci whenever he cries for it and #2- teething. He has already cut his two bottom teeth and I think he's gonna be one of those that get alot of his other ones around the same time. It's so crazy to me how babies get their teeth.... some early, late, in "order", out of "order", you never know! All of my boys had different teething experiences. It's funny to be on the other side of teething too now with Asher and Caleb starting to LOSE their baby teeth. Asher lost his first one this past December when he was 6 1/2 while Caleb just lost his first one about a month ago at 5 1/2! And thinking back to when they were babies and getting their teeth, Asher didn't get his first teeth until around 8 months while Caleb probably had 6 teeth by the time he was 8 months! Crazy! But back to Maddox I guess since this post is about him :)
He is definitely a smiley, happy baby. Loves to be talked to and tickled. He still loves being in his car seat which bodes well for him since we are constantly on the go. He will still sleep when we are out and about. He's still nursing 4x a day. Usually around 6:45- 7, 11, 3, and 6:45- 7 at night. I feed him rice cereal/ fruit around 8 (breakfast), a fruit and a vegetable around 11:30- 12 (lunch), and usually 2 veggies at 5:30ish (dinner). He has bath time every other night after he nurses at 7 and then is down for the night between 8- 8:30. We are so so thankful for our sweet #5 (yes, they're all just numbers around here! Ha!) No seriously though couldn't imagine our crazy life without him!
