Six Months Old

I'm 6 Months Old!

  • I can roll stomach to back, and back to stomach.
  • My two bottom teeth are starting to poke through the gums.
  • I have four 8 ounce bottles a day.
  • I've had oatmeal (which I eat with breakfast) and a pureed vegetable (which I eat for dinner.) So far I've tried peas, carrots, and sweet potatoes- and love them all. 
  • My big sister calls me "Toe-ee." Mom calls me Kota bear.
  • I am almost always complimented on my clear blue eyes.
  • I am just the happiest baby. I smile almost all the time I am awake. My smile is so big that it takes up most of my face. 
  • Right when I turned 5 months old, I had a week of sleeping through the night completely. Since than, I have been back to waking up at 3 am, and coming in bed with mom and dad to sleep.
  • I still sleep on my stomach for naps and bedtime.
  • I am a little chunky monkey. Rolls and adorable baby fat everywhere! I am wearing 6-12 month clothes, size 2 shoes, and my thighs are too big to fit into the baby Bumbo seat.
  • I can't help but smile when I see my sister.
  • I love the water. The bath, the pool, the ocean, I love it all.
