Six Months!

How on earth has it been six months already? He's half way to one year! That's madness!

Size

Again very unscientifically I weighed him to be around 14 or 15 pounds. We'll find out in a couple weeks at the doctor what he really weighs. He is still in some 0-3 month clothes but some clothes he wears are also 9 months... So basically we go with whatever fits!

Sleeping

James still hates taking naps. He does pretty good sleeping through the night and will just wake up once or twice. I finally gave in this last week and started sleep training. It is the worst! But he's been doing pretty good with it. The first night it took an hour, next night 30 minutes, and from then on it's been about 15 minutes with a couple exceptions. Hopefully he will get the hang of this and I won't have to hear him screaming anymore because it seriously breaks my heart every single time.

Eating

Still breastfeeding most of the time and occasionally he will have formula. He absolutely loves his cereal! He just giggles and laughs while eating and I can't get the food in fast enough for him. My mom says he's one of the best eaters she's ever seen. It's adorable! We have him sit with us and eat during lunch and dinner. We gave him some sweet potatoes for his 6 month birthday! He did not like them. Hahaha We'll just keep trying!

Miscellaneous
He has completely mastered rolling. He can get anywhere he wants to. He's trying to figure out crawling and is pretty good at scooting. He's started to be ok with baths but only if he's sitting up.
