Hudson Swager {6 Months}

Half a year?! So crazy. Huddy bear, you are the happiest, sweetest baby.  For the most part you are so easy and content I feel spoiled. You make my days so bright kid!

6 Month Stats:

Length: 26 inches {32 percentile}

Weight: 17 pounds 15 ounces {57 percentile}

Head Circumference: 17.4 inches {61 percentile} 

You are doing pretty well sleeping at night.  I feel like about every other night we have to let you "cry it out" for a bit which is torturous (I spend most of the time crying too!) but it's the only thing that actually gets you to sleep! Even me going in and trying to rock you or give you your paci won't work...you are so tired that you are just beside yourself!

Your eating...you've had rice cereal once.  I kept putting that off - along with potty training your brother off until we get moved and settled! So the once was so that I could tell our sweet Dr. Keller... yeah he's had rice cereal! But you are taking a 6 oz bottle every 3 hours. You usually get your first one around 8 am and your last one around 8pm.

Speaking of getting moved and settled... WE ARE MOVED AND GETTING SETTLED! Yeah! This is probably another good reason why you are struggling at night a bit.  You aren't sleeping right next to your mama and you are in your own room, in your own bed.  Hallelujah! I have to admit this was a VERY hard move for this mama to make, but I know you will be used to it in no time and that it really is the best choice for you and for me and your daddy too!

You are starting to really put everything in your mouth.  Sophie, Ellie, your hands...you'd even put your feet in if you could reach! You are rolling from your tummy to your back every now and then, but not the other way quite yet.  Also no sitting up yet either.  You'll get there eventually... I'm not in a hurry :).  And good news - Dr.Keller said your head looks much better! I'm not sure if I mentioned last month, but she said that your head was a little flat (sorry kiddo...) but we amped up the tummy time, got you out of that cozy bassinet that you loved and it's looking great!

You're first 4th of July this month was so fun.  We went out to Kiefer for fireworks on the 3rd and you were so sweet and loved looking at all the lights.  On the 4th we hung out with some fun friends by the pool.  You are just happy and content as long as you are fed and get to sleep no matter where we are! PS I'm sorry I made you wear that hat.  But I mean I DIE. Your future wife will think it's really cute... I promise!!!

We are so thankful for you Huddy Buddy.  Love you lots... Happy Half Birthday Baby Boy!
