I've been on this low all week and couldn't quite put my finger on it until tonight. I'm genuinely sad at the rate my babies are growing up. I know so many of my friends who dislike this stage of motherhood, but I seriously LOVE it. I have this overwhelming feeling that these are the best days of my life and I am so sad at how quickly time goes by.
Oh Henry, HOW has it been 6 months since you were born?!! HOW?!!
At your 6 month visit, you were 29.5 inches (off the growth chart) and 20lbs exactly (90th percentile). You are sitting on your own, babbling the most adorable little baby sounds, and eating solids. Your favorite food so far is oatmeal baby cereal, and then sweet potatoes.....but only the canned sweet potatoes. You weren't into the texture of the ones I made. And honestly, the organic pre-made baby food is probably better than anything I'll make here, so I'm going to keep on buying it. :)
You take 2-3 naps a day, and that all depends on whether or not you sleep through the night. Most nights, you still wake up once to nurse, and most nights, it's just easier to feed you than hear you cry yourself back to sleep. We did do cry it out and that worked for a few days, and then you were back up to waking. You LOVE people and like your sisters, don't have an ounce of stranger danger. You are just so smiley, and I want to eat you all the time.
Thank you, Henry boy, for being the perfect addition to our little family! We love you!
xoxo Momma
