6 Month Update

Kaenaan is 6 MONTHS OLD! ! O-M-G, that's 1/2 way to 1! ! The time sure is flying by.

At 6 months Kaenaan is weighing in at 17 lbs 12 oz and 27 inches. He fell from the 90th % to the 50th % since his 4 month check up. We were battling a nasty cold so the Dr is thinking that's why his weight didn't increase so much. We're working on fattening him up!

Kaenaan is such a happy lil guy. He LOVES playing with his toys and always wants to have something in his hands to play with and chew on.

He is such a good sleeper, and has been since we brought him home from the hospital. His normal routine: Wakes up around 7-8 in the morning. Takes a small morning nap, about 30-45 mins. At 1 he goes down for his big nap and that will last from 2-3 hours. Yay, Ryder also naps this time too, can anyone say "Mommy time!" After nap time we play, eat dinner, take baths and then bedtime is usually at 6:30. He's been a little off schedule the past couple days, but my little sleeper is getting back on track. He'll usually wake up 1-2 times thru the night to nurse, but he goes right back to sleep after nursing.....Thank goodness.

He's a good eater too and is just starting to get the hang of his little sippy cup.

He's now eating 3 meals a day and nursing every 3 hours.

All of his baby food is Made By Mommy. So far we have tried pears, apples, squash, carrots, bananas, avocados, sweet potatoes, potatoes with broccoli and cauliflower, peaches, apples with chicken, and potatoes with peas and chicken. His favorites so far are apple peach mix, sweet potatoes and squash. His least favorite is.......potatoes with broccoli and cauliflower, surprise, surprise!

I recently found out that if I'm holding him and eating and apple or strawberries, I might as well forget about it. He cries, opens his mouth and grabs for the goods. This is his cute face after sucking on a strawberry.
