Jaxten is 6 months old!

Jaxten, you are 6 months old!

You are the sweetest little boy I've ever known (besides your big brother Caden)!  You are such a happy boy and so easy-going.  You are a delight to be around and everyone talks about what a good baby you are!  Here are some fun facts about you this month!

*I don't know how much you weigh because we haven't been to the doctor in a while, but we'll find out at the end of this month!

*You are wearing 3-6 month clothes but starting to wear 6-9 months too.  The smaller ones fit everywhere except your legs! 

*You are in a size 3 diaper.  They fit pretty good except for around the thighs.  I keep fighting the thought of moving you to a size 4, but I think it won't be too long!  You have your daddy's legs....thick and short!

*You are going between eating really well, and not eating much at all.  You generally eat between 25-30oz of milk, about half mommy's milk and half formula.  You also get rice cereal or oatmeal twice a day and you have had quite a variety of baby food.  You have added sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, green peas, green beans, applesauce, pears, peaches, and bananas to your menu.  You LOVE to eat baby food and would eat more than I am giving you right now!

*You go to bed usually between 9-10pm and most of the time sleep through the night until I have to wake you up at 7:30am.  You go to mimi's house and play a little while, eat a bottle and take a nap.  You take around 3-4 naps per day. 

*You wake up every morning with the biggest smile on your face.  As soon as you look at me, you start grinning and burying your head in the bed like you are being bashful.  Every time I walk in from work or even from the other room in the house you smile at me and it just makes me want to melt into a puddle in the floor!

*You are rolling back and forth all over the place!  You also get on your belly and scoot.  You can scoot forward and backward so no more laying you on the bed while we are out of the room!

*You are trying hard to sit up by yourself and you can do it for a little bit.  It won't be long until you can sit and play!

*You sat in a highchair on your six month birthday for the first time at Olive Garden and you really liked it a lot better than sitting back in your carseat!

*You have started saying "mamamama" and "babababa".  I don't think you are actually referring to anyone or anything but rather just making a new noise.  I don't care though, your first sound was still "mama"!

*You still love to take a bath.  You get so excited and start kicking your legs and moving your arms when you hear the water running!

*The day after you turned 5 months old, we went to a water park at the beach.  You love to be outside and you love bath water, but you were not too crazy about chilly pool water.  Maybe by next summer....

*If we hold a stuffed animal or a mirror up to you and tell you to give it kisses, you will open your little mouth as wide as you can and slobber all over it!

*You have been noticing Pacey for a while, but when he gets close to you or licks your foot you ALWAYS start laughing!  If you can get close to his head you grab him with both hands and try to pull him close to kiss him.  It's too cute!

*You absolutely LOVE your big brother.  You are facinated by everything he does.  He can make you laugh anytime he trys.  He is so good with you and you are amazed with him and that just tickles me!

You are an absolute joy to be around!  I'm so excited about all the new things you are learning but you are growing up way too fast!
