Little Caelan is six months old today. His dad, Micah and I sang him happy birthday this morning while he had cereal in his bumbo seat. What a different baby we have - the first 4 and 1/2 months was a mostly cranky, sleepless, starving, and wailin' Caelan. Once he started taking the bottle, and learned how to self-soothe by sucking on his fingers, he began to sleep through the night! And if he's not hungry, he's really a content baby throughout the day. All my friends who've hung out with us lately say he's so EASY!
Milestones: He's eating solids pretty regularly, can sit up for long periods, reaches for toys, and cries if you take something away he likes. He loves his exersaucer and is a social butterfly, often smiling with his big dimples at anyone who smiles at him. He loves to stare at his brother, and likes to babble to himself a lot.
I'm not sure how much he weighs or how tall he is, but I sometimes get blisters from holding the car seat with him in it (yikes!) and he's starting to outgrow the 6-9 month clothing. Now is when I want time to slow down. I've definitely bonded faster with Caelan (maybe because I'm not so scared as a second time mom) but also because he's a very smiley and engaging baby. If you tickle him a little, he will laugh a long, long, time. He sometimes does that on his own to hear himself endlessly giggle in delight. Some times at night, I know I need to put him down, but I'll just keep holding onto him tighter and longer because he's so picture perfect when he sleeps. I always want him to stay this small. I hope the next six months goes a lot slower because I'm really enjoying him!
