Happy First Half Birthday Spencer!

Spencer is 6 months old! It is amazing how much bigger he has gotten in the last month or so. He started wanting 5 8-oz bottles each day, so we decided it was definitely time to start solids. Here are some things he is up to:

  • Still laughs and smiles ALL the time, especially at Mommy, Daddy and most of all Wright
  • Is really good at rolling from back to stomach, but gets stuck on his stomach a lot which frusterates him
  • Sleeps 12.5 hours every night, we have to wake him up to eat in the morning so we can get the day started!
  • Takes 2 big naps each day (first morning and after lunch) and 2 catnaps in between (a lot of time in his car seat)
  • Coos a ton but is not making consonant sounds quite yet
  • Loves singing/dancing with mommy
  • Loves his exersaucer MUCH more than laying on a blanket with toys around him
  • Likes sitting at the table with us while we eat dinner and watching us

On another interesting note, our "preemie" baby is actually bigger than his brother was at 6 months. He is 16.8 lbs, 26.25" length and 17.5" head. Wright was almost exactly the same but slightly lighter and longer. So funny because he doesn't seem to be as interested in food as Wright was, yet he is somehow getting plenty to grow like a weed.


Big smiles :)

Here he is with his first cereal.

Here is mostly what he does so far...
