6 Month Recap

Well, so much for monthly blog updates! I had good intentions of posting pictures and milestone updates every month, but here we are at 6 months and I haven’t done a single one. Oops!

Better late than never, I guess. Here is the highlight reel from our first months together, along with David’s requisite monthly size comparison photos.

Month 1

• Falling more in love with our sweet little boy
• Very tough – lots of crying and not much sleeping
• Blizzard or negative temperatures every time we had to leave the house

Month 2

• Still lots of crying and not much sleeping
• We spent many hours every evening bouncing David on an exercise ball
• Swing was the only place he would sleep without being held
• First smiles and social interactions were very gratifying!

Month 3

• Breakthrough! I finally had time to read a baby sleep book and realized that David was not getting enough sleep. Started putting him to sleep sooner instead of so much bouncing, and he was a totally different baby!
• Giggling hilariously, especially at Daddy

Month 4

• Started sleeping through the night!
• Rolling over back to front
• Figuring out his hands and enjoying toys more

Month 5

• Finally sleeping by himself in the crib
• First plane ride to visit family in Florida

Month 6

• Sitting up unassisted
• Pushing up to hands and knees
• Started solid foods – so far he likes almost everything we give him!
