6 months!
Merry Christmas everyone! Owen is 6 months old today, wow!
At 6 months, Owen:
* Is still 100% bf
* Eats every 1 1/2 to 2 hours, and we can sometimes stretch it out to 3
* Eats oatmeal cereal for dinner
* Has tried squash, sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, and carrots
* Loves the sweet potatoes, is okay with the squash and carrots, but hates the peas and green beans
* Wakes up anywhere from 2-4 times a night, and can't fall back asleep unless I nurse him (must break him of this!)
* Rolls from belly to back like a pro, but always gets stuck on his shoulder trying to go from back to belly
* Still has only 2 teeth, but is constantly drooling and chomping on things
* Loves to babble and talk
* Says something that sounds like "am" or "ama" when he wants me, but I'm hesitant to call it his first word
* Can sit unsupported for up to 30 seconds at a time
* Enjoys going for walks in the Moby Wrap
* Loves to play with his feet
* Laughs like crazy when I put his feet up to his face
* Loves to scream and squeal
* Has started making clicking noises with his tongue
* Still prefers mommy over daddy (he's a mama's boy for sure)
* Has finally noticed the cats and likes to pet them (i.e. grab fistfuls of fur)
* Still fits into some 3-6 month clothes, and fits well in 6 month Carter's clothes
* Wears a size 3 diaper
I'm proud to say that I've accomplished my initial goal of breastfeeding for 6 months, woo hoo :D! I think I'll go for 9 next :).

This is Benjamin to a T! I am always nursing him to sleep. Its a hard habit to break. I dont want to deny him if he is hungry, you know?
