Trying to get a good picture of his hair.  I would say he has the most of any of our kids but it's super blond so it's not as noticeable.

#6-
His cradle cap was replaced by bad red eczema on his cheeks, which was replaced by occasional red spots and a weird wet/crusty spot behind his right ear- this kid has lots of skin issues.  I tried to wait until he was pretty cleared up.

I was trying to get him to do his crawling position but I forgot how exciting grass can be.  Rookie mistake!

Stats

15# 3oz (15th percentile)

26.5" Height (60th percentile)

16.75" Head (25th percentile)

None of my kids have been very high on the weight chart.  Since he 4 month check he's grown 2lbs heavier, 2" taller! He's very similar to Charlotte and Oliver's stats each time.

Food Report Card

A+ Pears

A Sweet Potatoes, puffs/cherrios (he just sucks on one at a time- no teeth yet), avocado

B Rice cereal, carrots, green beans, peas, banana

I really didn't want to start solids- meal times are crazy enough but I've worked it into the routine and we're up to 3 meals a day.  He still isn't the biggest fan of solids but he likes to sit in his high chair during meal time.  He's been too wiggly to use the Bumbo on the table.  He sure gets a lot of food on the floor (like the other 3 weren't doing a good enough job messing up the floor already!).

I've been mashing up more "real" food this time: avocado, butternut squash, carrots... but he doesn't like  it as well as the stuff from the store even when I puree it. Hopefully he'll adjust because I have a lot of squash and carrots to use up.

Sleeping

Finally switched to two predictable naps a day (9:30 and 2:30).  His naps are getting a little longer but he is still the worst cat napper I've had. The 2 nap schedule is easier for me than the 3 nap schedule.  He also started sleeping through the night consistently from 9 or 9:30-6:30 or 7!  He was only waking up once at night since he was a few months old but it's always nice we they start to sleep a longer chunk consistently.

He is getting better at staying up but I do find it funny when they topple to the side like this.

Sentimental Close

He is still every kid's favorite person to see.  He is well entertained, if only he survives all the "loving" attention he gets!  I am so sad he's half done being a baby!
