Holy Smokes! It’s already been 6 months…Having 2 kids is a little harder than I expected, hence we missed happy 4 and 5 month birthday posts.
Connor is a great baby and couldn’t be more opposite than Isabel was:
He has no problem relaxing on the couch or floor by himself-She needed full-time attention.
He drools-She spat up.
He started out sleeping really well and has regressed - she started out as a shrieking pterodactyl that was allergic to sleep and now sleeps wonderfully
He has a limited appetite - she was ravenous at every feeding
He is great on planes - she was …less than stellar
Here are some milestones and favorites for CPK at 6 months:
Able to sit up (for a few seconds), before slowly falling forward
Able to ‘support’ his weight when standing
Able to roll 95% over… We thought we were going to get it one time and there was a crowd of us watching. “Fortunately,” Isabel rushed over and pushed him back onto his back because she was worried.
Able to fit both hands and a pacifier in his mouth at the same time
Able to reach for and get a toy if it’s placed close to him and he’s motivated
Favorite books: Crazy tail books
Least favorite thing to read: Dad’s work emails (this happens when i get up too early and dad has to work while holding me before school)
Favorite toys: Weird multi-colored wooden ring thing & His hands
Favorite Dada: me ;)
Favorite School Teacher: Ms Monica. She’s great and talks to me almost as much as dad does.
Favorite non-formula snack: Ice Cream
Favorite Recent Trip: Orange Beach with Aunt Jonnie and Uncle Ford (Especially the ‘old man beach naps’ )
Dad’s Favorite feature: Morning smiles. He wakes up and sees the first person and smiles ear to ear. It seems like he’s thinking “i never thought i’d see you again and there you are! This is the best"!”
Dad’s Least Favorite Feature: Waking up at night (a lot)
Recent Visits: Nana, Pappy, Gramma, and Padre. It’s amazing how much pull a sick baby has for grandparents.
