Some pics from the doctors office!
A few things you should know about Macklin as he hits the 6 month mark...
Weight: 14 lbs 13 oz (from the nurse) (25%)
No, that is not a mistake, but he didn't lose weight. The nurse at 5 months messed everything up!
I knew she was wrong but I wasn't going to tell her what to do.
Length: 27.25 inches (from the nurse) (50%, long and lean)
Sleeping: So much better! He sleeps from 8pm to 7am almost without fail!
Mommy is happy, baby is happy!
Naps: Much improved as well. Goes down for his longest nap at 8:30am (1.5-2.5 hours). Then, he goes down at 12:15pm for another hour or so. We are lucky to get 45 minutes out of him in the afternoon (about 4pm) but it is still good down time. Naps are way better! Yah for structure!
Eating: Nursing 4 times a day for about 20 minutes each time. But, we have started real food! We do about 2-3 tablespoons of pureed veggies once a day after a nursing session and then a few ounces of breastmilk with rice cereal after the evening nursing session. We will move to two veggies once our box of rice cereal is gone, and then to three veggies/fruit a day in another month. I love feeding Macklin! And...he is eating out of a high chair!
Playing: Macklin is super alert now. He wants to grab everything and just investigate it all. He really likes to ripe things up! We are playing with blocks now, light up (read-to-him) type books, rings, and still loves the rattles, keys, etc. Loves the jumperoo as well!
Attitude: The increase in sleeping has made our boy much happier! He still has his moments and is getting to the stage where is he pissed when you leave him and walk away....but he is doing great! Super happy kid and very easy!
