Our boy is six months old!! Wow, I can't believe how quickly time is flying! Nate is growing up way too fast. Sorry I have been slacking on the blogging this month. Between my new sewing hobby and trying to get a house ready to sell, I haven't had much time. Yes, we are putting our house on the market! We have officially outgrown this house and need to upgrade before the next little one comes along. Since selling a house these days could take many months, we decided we'd better get started. My parents so graciously came up here this weekend to help us do some things around the house. My mom was more than thrilled to keep Nate occupied while we worked.
Nate is doing so many new things. He is in the stage now where each week he is so much more developed than the week before. New things:
-Still a great sleeper. Takes one good nap during the day.
- Sitting up now, unsupported!! He is still a little wobbly, so we have to sit close by, but he can sit by himself for a while before toppling over.
- He is always, always, always drooling!! We still don't see any teeth on the horizon, but surely they are coming soon!
- He loves attention. He will do anything for attention, even negative attention. We are starting to have to correct him with our tone of voice. I hope he is not as strong-willed as both of his parents!
- He is rolling all over the place. We can't put him down and leave him now because he will be across the room in no time flat.
- He is wearing 6-9 months clothing. All of his 6 month footed pajamas are getting too small for him because he is so long.
- He is always smiling. Nate is the happiest little guy I have ever seen. He even still smiles at strangers and loves old people.
- He is trying out so many new sounds and has so many expressions. He makes us laugh just looking at him.
- He is now exclusively bottle feeding. I had to give up breastfeeding because I was not making enough for him since I went back to work. I went as long as I could though, and it was hard to start bottle feeding him, but at least I knew I didn't have a choice. It doesn't bother him one bit, though, just mommy!
We are going for his six months checkup on Wednesday, so I will have to update on his stats. We are also going to visit my sister and brother-in-law in Mobile this coming weekend, which is a seven-hour drive. I am sure it will certainly be interesting! Please say a prayer for us!!
Here is a month's worth of pictures to catch you up!
He no longer sits back and relaxes for his monthly chair pic.
Such a busy boy!
Sitting up all by myself.
Playing in my pack-n-play
Bathtime is still my favorite!
I love my bouncer!
Went to see my cousin Abby in Starkville last weekend.
We loved playing together, but aren't really good at sharing yet!
I love my johnny jump-up! Murphy is very protective of me.
