Andrew turned 6 months old last week! Where does the time fly? I can't believe he's already half a year old. Here is a recap of Andrew's activities the last month...
Andrew can sit up by himself if someone helps him. He can sit up for up to 30 minutes by himself before gravity takes over. He enjoys playing with his toys and frequently puts anything in his mouth - toys, fingers, toes, cell phones, etc.
I have a feeling that he is teething, but the pediatrician has not seen any swelling yet (which is not to say that they aren't there somewhere).
Andrew eats solids 2-3 times a day. His favorite food is sweet potatoes. He does not sleep 7-9 hours a night anymore (which mommy and daddy miss dearly). He is apparently going through another growth spurt. Sometimes he gets up every two hours to nurse. Mommy hasn't had to do that since Andrew was first born.
Andrew can now roll BOTH ways! He had been rolling from his back to his tummy for the past month and just yesterday decided to roll from his tummy to his back. It is quite humorous to watch him roll. Now that he can roll both ways, he tends to keep rolling until he hits something...or when mommy and daddy catch him.
Andrew loves to make noise! He likes to imitate you and say nonsense words. I swear I heard him say "Mama" the other day, but that was probably unintentional. He does give you the occasional high-pitched scream to get your attention.
His eyes are still blue! This is still quite the conundrum, but the pediatrician assures us that they will most likely change.
And here are Andrew's 6 month stats:
- 20 lbs, 10 oz
(with clothes and full diaper on - don't know how many ounces we can subtract)
- 27.5 inches long
- 0 teeth
- tons of cuteness
