This month has been good in many ways. I can say that life is finally a little less survival, and we're finally able to start enjoying things around us :)
•sleep- yes! We are getting it again!! The day G turned 6 months, we sleep trained him. He actually took it on pretty well. He cried for 45 minutes and then slept int 6 am. He's had a few other nights when he's cried for a bit. I thought he'd be past that after a month but I guess he just needs to express himself! Now, he's down at 7, wakes between 4 and 5 to be fed, and then he sleeps anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours more. Not too bad and much better than before!
-His naps are pretty good. He goes down around 9 and then between 12 and 1. He only takes one good, long nap a day. The other tends to be shorter, but he seems ok with it.
-G wants to crawl so bad! He's reaching for things and will get down and turn circles on his belly. He hasn't gotten to the rocking stage yet, but I feel like he's almost there.
-He's up to size 3 diapers and is in 9 month clothes. He had short legs and a long body, so pants are long but onesies fit great.
-He's a great eater! So far, he's had carrot, sweet potato, parsnip, peas, broccoli, spinach, butternut squash, pear, apple, blueberries, peach, and banana. We do some finger foods like puffs or small pieces of toast.
-G loves to be out and among people. He loves watching kids play and can not wait until he gets to also.
-He's a very happy baby for the most part, and he gives everyone a huge smile. I get comments about how smiley he is. It's nice to hear because a few months ago, I never got compliments about him- just odd looks of concern. He's definitely made a turn around and it's great!
