Age 6
months
Weight & Length 16 lbs 11.4 oz (36%), 27
inches (65%)
Clothing size Mostly 6-12, though still fits into a few 3-6 month
outfits
Hair He continues to get more blonde
hair coming in, especially on top
Teeth Two on
the bottom! We think there may be more coming in the near future!
Sleeping Jackson
sleeps from 7:00-8:00 pm until around 6:00-6:45 am with usually 1 and sometimes
2 wake ups. It was a little rough at first when we stopped swaddling him (just
after 5 months) but now he is doing great sleeping just in a sleep sack without
the swaddle.
Eating Jackson continues to eat
about every 2.5-3 hours but also has started solid foods! He will tolerate rice
cereal, but what he really loves is the purees! He started with apples, then sweet
potato, mango, carrot, peaches, and butternut squash. He loves them all, especially mango! We can’t wait to keep introducing him to
more flavors.
Movement Jackson is rolling like
crazy these days. We stopped
swaddling him for sleep and now he is all over the place in the crib and on the
floor.
Milestones Jackson is now sitting up
well. When he was just 6 months he needed some back up as he had trouble
recovering when he tipped too far off balance. He is getting
better and better by the day. Jackson also traveled on a plane for the 2nd time
this last month and did great. He
is a pro at nursing to sleep on takeoff and sleeping until it is time to wake
up and nurse for the landing.
Favorite toys/activities He continues to love his jumper. He also loves his winkle, o-balls, baby
paper and soft blocks. He is also
starting to like some stackable balls from Grandma and Grandpa Nichols. He is starting to like using a teething
ring more too. He has gone on a
few rides in our new Bob stroller, and has even been comfortable enough to fall
asleep. He doesn’t seem to mind
it, but I can’t say he loves it yet. Hopefully as the weather gets warmer and
he doesn’t have to be so bundled up he will like it better.
Dislikes Waking up at night. Can’t wait to have our little buddy
sleep through the night. We also
dislike viruses- and viral conjunctivitis. Enough said, ready for this cold
season to be done so the runny noses go away!
Words & sounds He has started babbling with more
consonants, including dadadadada… Daddy is so proud!
What we love Everything! 6 months is such a fun age.
What we don’t love Illnesses-- we can’t wait for the viral respiratory
season to end so we can have our healthy little baby boy back!
What we’re looking forward to next month Working on more sounds and starting to work toward
crawling.
