Let's go back... (Part 1 - Matthew is 6 mos!)

There was too much fun stuff that happened in Oct (and cute pics) to just skip over it, so, now that I have time on my hands (see a "Part" soon to be posted) I thought I would take some time to catch up....so let's go way back to the beginning of the month...

Matthew turned 6 mos...his stats were:

Weight - 16.3 lb
Height - 27.5 in
(My ped office has new software now so I can't read these new charts to figure out what that means in percentiles - but those never mean much to me anyways.  He is basically "normal" size!)

Big Brother was "helping" with this photo shoot

The week before his "bday" he sat on his own!  I was so excited that when Michael came home shortly after I had laid him down for bed I went back in to his room, got him up and made him perform for daddy! You can see he looks a little sleepy (and confused) in the pic. (Luckily he likes to sleep so he went right back down.)

He has picked up his eating during the month of Oct...he is now up to 3 meals of solids a day.  He loves his rice cereal (the apple flavor is his favorite), and likes apples, bananas, squash and green beans...peas and peaches are not his favorites.

It really isn't fair that my sons have these eyelashes

Sleeping hasn't really changed...still 2 long naps during the day with a little cat nap before dinner...and down by 7:30.  He stays in bed until 7:30 or 8:00 every morning...basically he just lays in bed and plays until I get dressed in the morning.  He is too good to me...
