Graham - Month 6

In just another six months, we will be celebrating a first birthday! 

Graham is a great baby! He is a chunk! Weighing in around 20 lbs already and wearing 9 month clothes. He's still in a size three diaper. His wellness check is next week, so I will know all his stats then. 



He drinks six, six ounce bottles a day. We will either cut a bottle out or cut it down to five ounces now that he is eating more food. He's been eating one container of stage one baby food a night. This weekend, I started giving him one in the morning and one at night. He's tried pretty much all the veggies and fruits. He liked them all, except green beans. He ate them the first time, but started gagging on them tonight. He had a taste of fruit and sweet potatoes, so I'm sure he would rather have that! 

He loves daycare. I love getting pictures and videos of him too! 
I'm glad to know he is getting a lot of loving! 

He eats, stays up for about two hours, then goes back to sleep for an hour, sometimes two. He goes down between 6 and 7 at night. Brandon gets off at 10, and gives him a dream feed. He wakes up for the day around 5am. Just like his brother! They are both early birds, and they both have a great routine. 


He loves bath time and tummy time. He has started to crawl backwards! He also LOVES his jumper and his Sit Me Up seat. I think he is in both quite a bit at daycare. He can get where he wants to go by scooting around, but he isn't sitting up by himself just yet. 



Rolls for days!


He has also found his voice. He likes to squeal and babble. His favorite sound to make is "dada" which makes Brandon super happy. Since he is so loud, I started taking him to the nursery during church. 

They are my favorites! 

Going back to work as been much easier this time!! Part of it is being a specialist, and partly because it's my second child. I know he will be ok! Brandon has a weird work schedule, so we have to have a  routine. Brandon cleans up the house in the morning, so when I get home, I get to focus on dinner, baths, and bedtime. We make a pretty great team. 


And Griffin is awesome. He's so stinking smart and grown up these days. I'm loving four and a half. He gets very little screen time these days. His imagination is so big. He can spend over an hour playing in his room by himself. He opens the car door himself, buckles himself in, dresses himself, brushes his teeth, helps me around the house, buys his own donuts, wipes his own butt, sticks his straw in his juice box, and so much more! Most of this started six months ago when Graham showed up, but he continues to amaze me. I love him dearly.
