6 months!

Hey ya'll (yep, my mom taught me early on that I am from Texas, well not really, but she is...so I had to learn to say "ya'll"). Can you believe I am 6 months old?! My mommy and daddy tell me every day they can't believe that I have only been in their life for 6 months...and then they tell me they can't imagine life without me. I have to be honest, I think they sometimes are just kissing up to me so they don't won't feel as bad one day when they actually get frustrated with me. I'm just sayin'!

Anyways, we had my 6 month appointment on Friday (even though I turned 6 months LAST Sunday) and the most shocking thing we found out is that i am in the

3rd PERCENTILE for weight

isn't that crazy??? My doctor wasn't that worried, but she said that I should start drinking formula. If anyone had just asked me I would have told them that I'm just not really a boob man. Sorry to be so honest, but there is just too much going on around me when my mom tries to feed me. When she gives me a bottle sometimes, I love being able to look around...and when mommy nurses me...well, I'm just not that into it. So - formula it is!

Speaking of food, I am so torn on whether or not I like cereal. Sometimes I like to eat it and others I don't, just depends on my mood. My mom has also fed me apples and peas. Clearly I like apples better - who wouldn't!! I try to be very obvious that I don't like peas by gagging and being very dramatic, but between you and me...they aren't so bad. I ate all of them the other night! It will probably just take me a few more weeks to get the hang of it.

And I just started eating sweet potatoes. How do I get my mommy to feed those to me at every meal?! They are incredible!!!

Now that I don't really nap anymore from 3-7pm...I like to cook dinner with mommy. She loves to cook and teaches me alot. I just sit in my bumbo and watch her go to work. She can even feed me while she cooks - talented lady!

(please don't call child protective services on my mom - I understand there is a knife beside me...well, and wine too, but i still don't really reach for any of that so I'm safe!)

Now, let's talk about my favorite topic...my schedule. I enjoy my days because mommy has me on such a rigid, oops, I mean great schedule. Here is what my typical schedule is:

7am Wake up & drink up!

8am Eat some breakfast

9am Nap

11am Wake up & drink up!

12pm East some lunch

1pm Nap

3pm Wake up & drink up!

6pm East some dinner

6:30 Bedtime routine (naked time on changing pad, bath, lotion rubdown & book)

7pm Drink up & off to bed

**This is during naked time on the changing pad...it might just be my favorite time of the day!)

Because of this great schedule she has me on...I sure love sleep! Ever night I am SOOO happy when I finally get put in my own bed - I immediately throw my hands behind my bed and drift off to sleep. I don't really cry, but sometimes I talk it out...depends on my mood.

Seriously, this is how I sleep at night or during naps. It's just my thing. The ladies love it!

Other things I'm up to:

• Rolling from my tummy to back
• Reaching for toys & actually playing with them
• Sitting up by myself
• Talking..."ahhh ya ya ya ya ya ya ya" - that's my favorite currently
• Sitting on my mama's hip
• Laughing loudly
• Blowing rasberries
• Sitting in my big stoller

Crazy that 1/2 a year ago...I was this tiny!

Have a great week! I know I will!!! And thanks for keeping up with my life! My mommy likes that you read her blogs and loves getting more and more followers.
