6 Months

I am a bad (very busy) mom who forgot to take a 6 month picture of Kaden on the 3rd. opps. :(
So, I am going to go ahead and update everyone on Kaden's new achievements this month.

This month Kaden has almost mastered sitting up without support. He now sits alone for 5 minutes tops before he gets tired of it and falls backwards. We have started him on meats and stage 2 baby food. He LOVES it! We still haven't found any food that he doesn't like. He has 1 bottom tooth that has finally cut through...and it hurts when he bites. He has become sooo vocal. He will lay in his crib in the morning and just talk and sing to himself forever. He is still on a pretty good schedule. We are finally able to sleep through the night, sometimes he will wake up and fuss but will fall right back to sleep if you leave him alone. He is now obsessed with his tongue. He sticks it out all the time. We are still having some trouble with playing alone...he wants attention every chance he can get...oh well, good thing we love giving him attention! We are now able to lay him in his crib for naps and he will fall asleep on his own and stay asleep for 2 hours each nap he gets. We started using a sippy cup over the weekend and he has finally figured it out...at first he was frustrated and would throw fits that he couldn't get anything out of it, but then realized that he had to suck first. He really doesn't care much for juice quite yet...so we will stick with a little bit of water for now each day...which is fine with me.

At his 6 month check up he weighed 16.4 lbs and was around 24 or 26 inches long...I can't remember which. He is filling out his 3-6 months clothes and is transitioning into 6-9 months fast. I really think we are going to skip crawling and go straight to walking. He really shows no interest in crawling. He rolls everywhere now though, so who knows.

Yah 6 months! He seems to be exactly where miles was at 6 months..in size too. Although Miles just learned to crawl this month (9 months) so 6 months is a lil early for crawling. If he is rolling around like crazy that is good enough. I say as long as they don't move and are content mommy is too. He seems to be doing very well. What a studly lil man!
