If I had to stop and just blurt out the things that stand out the most to me about you at this age I would say ...
- Your thighs - people are always commenting on how huge and squishy your legs are and jokingly saying things like "Why don't you feed this boy?!"
- Your hair - we cut some of your crazy hairs from the sides this month, but kept your long waves in the front. People always remark on your "curly red hair" and really your hair all over your head is getting so thick. It's so different than Lillian's fine, pale blond hair!
- (Not) Sleeping - really you are a pretty good napper with two naps a day usually totaling up to 4 hrs or so AND you go down pretty easy, but you are still getting up twice a night every night. You go to sleep around 7:30-8:30pm every night and start your day anywhere from 5:30am to 8am depending on the day.
You are pretty happy now and more tolerant of the car seat especially if I ride in the back and you can see me. I still feel like I hold you a lot during the day but I'm not sure if that's just me not giving you a chance to be happy alone playing or if its necessary. If you are in need of consoling however you want me to stand and sway; you don't even let me sit and rock you to sleep at night.
You are not quite "sitting" but I think that is largely for lack of me working with you on it as much as I should. You do great at tummy time and have even got up on your knees a handful of times but you haven't mastered the 'tripod' to sit for any extended period of time.
In addition to getting up on your knees, you had a couple other milestones this month like your first tooth breaking thru (the bottom right at about 5 1/2 months), your first haircut and your first trip to the beach. You are such a beautiful beautiful baby boy.
