Six Months and Growing

Height:  27 inches
Weight: 17 lbs 8 oz

Likes: Bath time.  Kiff outgrew his blue infant tub, but wasn't quite sitting up unassisted yet, so we blew up the ducky tub and he loves it.  He splashes and plays with his toys and looks up and grins.  I can't wait to get him in a pool next summer.   Mommy.  He is really turning in to a mommy's boy, which I love, but can also be exhausting.  He doesn't mind who holds him, as long as mommy is out of sight.  This often requires me ducking under tables, behind seats, or covering myself with a coat so he doesn't see me.

Dislikes: I still can't think of anything that he dislikes.  He's such a happy baby.

 
Sleeping: Doing better.  We have a full night's rest about once a week, but the night that follows is usually really poor sleeping.

Eating: 3 5 oz bottles at daycare, nursing on demand on the weekends.  Taking very little interest in food.  So far we've tried egg yolk, sweet potato, peas, and potatoes.  He seemed to enjoy the mashed potatoes from Outback.  He is also using a sippy cup when we eat.  He mostly just plays with it, but he will bring it to his mouth and turn upwards. 

Playing:   We are constantly saying (and being told) Kiff is nosy and it is so true.  He will not sleep or eat if there are things going on around him.  He is trying very hard to crawl, but mostly flaps his arms and legs around on the floor, but whenever he gets his belly off the ground I'm sure he will go go go. For now, he rolls anywhere he wants to go.
