Six Spectacular Months

It's about time that I posted Jonah's six month pictures. This past month has been a very busy one.

Jonah is still a chunky little one. At his six month check up is weight was 19lbs 12 oz. (85%), his height is 26in (45%) and his head is 45cm (85%). He only fits into 9-12month clothes! We love all of his sweet little rolls.

As you can imagine, Jonah likes to eat! The problem is that he only wants to nurse. We have backtracked quite a bit with spoon feeding because of his two ear infections this month. We try and get him to eat cereal, fruits and veggies at least twice a day but he really doesn't want any part of it :( He also does not like the bottle very much- he will only take it when he is starving. Don't get me wrong, I love breastfeeding, but it is hard to be the only source of nutrition for a 20 pound 6 month-old.

We are starting to get on more of a sleeping routine. He is still taking at least two short naps during the day. He goes down at night around 7pm and still wakes once or twice!! Again, the ear infections have caused us to go slow with trying to break him of night nursing. Mike has been doing a great job trying to get him back to sleep without eating. Hopefully in a few more weeks he will be sleeping trough the night.

Jonah is now rolling from his back- stomach and stomach - back all the time now. He is sitting up unsupported for short times before he falls over or forward. He plays all day long! His favorite thing to do is sit in his highchair and play with toys on the tray. Of course, Caleb is still his bestfriend!
