Happy 6 Months Nathan!!

How have 6 months passed since you were born? You have changed and blossomed every day and I love the little man that you are becoming. You have such a cute and silly personality and love to make us laugh. People are constantly telling us how cute you are and we can't agree with them more!

Weight: At your 6 month check up you were 16 pounds 1 ounce!

Height: 26.75 inches

Sleep: This month you did pretty well in the sleep department. Sleeping mostly 7:30-4:30 or 5 you eat and then going back to sleep until about 7:30 unless its a daycare day then daddy usually has you up and out of the house around 7:30. Your naps still range anywhere from 45 mins to 2 hours. We always enjoy the 2 hour naps the most!

Routine: Still keeping up the same routine. We have started talking you for walks around 6 which helps with cranky time. You LOVE being outside still and looking at the trees so you always enjoy a walk.

Diet: It was a big month this month! You got to try food on our anniversary August 22! Your first food was sweet potatoes and it was a success! Since then you have tried a variety of different foods all being made by me, some you like better than others and sweet potatoes and pears seem to be your favorites so far. Other than that still just breast milk.

Milestones: You spent a whole 2 nights with Nanny and Grampy while mommy and daddy went up to Vermont for our anniversary. They said you did great but were exhausted!

We also spent an afternoon at Smolak Farms checking out all the animals! Here you are with your best bud MJ rocking the double stroller!

You also took your first trip up to Camp! We put just your feet in the water since it was a cool day and you kicked them around like crazy. Soon after that we brought you to a pool and you loved being in the water. I am hoping you still enjoy this because I am going to sign you up for swim lessons this fall.

Lastly you took you first ride in a shopping cart at Market Basket. I think you were very amazed at everything there is to see in a grocery store.

I have also decided not to return to work on Thursdays. I love having an extra day with you and look forward to our time together.
