1/2 Year Old....Where has the time gone?

My baby is 6 months old (actually has been for some time now). I really need to get back to blogging! I guess the full time job and being a full time mom is just taking up too much of my time!

There are so many things to talk about but of course I will probably forgot to write about most of them.

Here are his stats:
Weight: 18 pounds 15 ounces (Why the doctor couldn't just say 19 is beyond me?!)
Height: 28 inches

He is in the 75% for weight and 95% for height! So he's a big boy! I noticed the other day how hard it is to carry him around. This boy needs to start moving on his own (do I really want to say that? This will probably come back to bite me in the butt!). Speaking of moving, he's starting to army crawl all over the place. I will put him down on his blanket and turn my head and the next thing I know he is half way across the room. Between the arm crawling and the rolling, he has figured out how to get what he wants!

He started talking a lot this month, as well. There are a few words we can make out: Dadda, Hi and Ma. I'm pretty sure he doesn't say them to us but that's okay. He also is madly in love with the Leo. He loves his dog! Every time Leo comes in the room, Caden goes crazy! Forget trying to feed him or change him when Leo is in the room. He will try and get to him anyway possible. Poor Leo has had his ears pulled, eyes poked and fur grabbed by Caden! Luckily, Leo is so patient with Caden and let's him do whatever he wants! A parent's dream!!!

This little man does not want to sleep! I think I am getting used to the fact that I will never again sleep more than 6 hours at a time! He was doing so good for a while but then within the last few months he has decided that he would rather play in the middle of the night instead of sleep : (
We are on 5-6 hours of sleep at a time before he wakes up and he is either hungry or ready to play. Maybe one of these days he will decide that sleeping is the way to go????

Teeth- None yet....but.....we keep saying that he may have one coming in! But then again we have been saying that for the last three months and still nothing! I can only imagine the amount of food this little boy will eat once he has some teeth. Speaking of food, he eats everything! There is not one thing that he will not eat! All the vegetables, all the fruits! He is really going to eat me out of house and home when he becomes a teenager!

Feedings- So we made it to 6 months with just breast milk! This mom decided that she needed a break so now we are doing half and half! He just gets too distracted when I nurse him that it either fails miserably or the feeding takes forever! He's just a happier baby when he can get the milk fast from a bottle! Today I actually decided that I will not pump at work any more and will only nurse him at night and in the morning! Hopefully he adjusts to the need feeding schedule!

So now that my little one turns 7 months this weekend.....I will probably be updating you guys in a few weeks!
