Jonathan at 6 mths

STATS-17 Lbs 13 oz (55%), 28" (95%), Head circumference 43.5 cm

Jonathan is SIX MONTHS!!!!  What a huge achievement on everyone's part.  I remember feeling the same way with Isaiah...like I had just crossed the finish line of a marathon.  My little sister gave me great advice before I had Isaiah (don't worry after three months things start to get better).  Although true I have found the six  month marker to be where I truly feel myself again and happily saying goodbye to the newborn phase:)

-Jonathan is the rolling King.  He rolls forward, backwards, and sideways.  He wants to crawl or just get around so badly that he is becoming very irritable when I put him in his swing or Jumperoo.  His most preferable place to be is in your arms because he can see everything that is going on and "move around" the house with ease.
-He loves all his baby food minus the green peas.
-He is still spitting up...ALL THE TIME and EVERYWHERE:(
-He's discovered a new growling voice that he likes to use often.  He has started to babble especially when I'm talking to Isaiah.

-He gets a kick out of chasing Isaiah around the house.  Jaime or I will hold him with our arms extended and facing forward and yell,  "I'm going to get you Isaiah."  Isaiah then takes off screaming and Jonathan is ALL smiles and giggles as we chase his big bro from room to room.
-He is trying so hard to sit on his own but has yet to master the technique.
-He loves his baths.  He takes one every night before going to bed.
-His bedtime routine starts at 7-730pm and includes a bath, being lotioned down, jammies, 6 0z bottle of formula with being rocked to sleep.  Lights out and off to dreamland by 8pm.
-He loves being outside.
-He just discovered lemons when we were out to dinner the other night for Grandma Betty's birthday.  He chewed through four lemon slices as though they were nothing!
-We left him for the first time with Grandma Betty while Jaime and I did a weekend get away to Vegas.  He wasn't even phased.  But when we did return he was all smiles and happy to see his Mama and Papa again.
-No teeth yet, but he is a pile a drool and wants to chew on anything that will help relieve his gums...my chin being one of his favorites??!!??
-He is wearing 9-12 month clothing.
-He wakes up either at 2:30 or 4 am to drink 6 oz then he"ll go back to sleep until 6 or 6:30 am.
-He takes a mid morning and afternoon nap.  Each nap is about an hour to an hour and half long.
-Jonathan is still such a happy baby.  All it takes is one look his way and he piles on the smiles.  We are loving every minute of him getting bigger, more vocal, and charismatic.  It is such a treat watching him grow!
