Meyer 6 Month Update

This cutie was 6 months old last week. A whole half a year has passed since he was born..half a year?! It feels like I was just holding him fresh and new in the hospital...and then I blinked...and here we are halfway to a 1 year old. Time is going by all too quickly, as it seems to with all of our kiddos! We are enjoying watching Meyer grow and learn everyday. He has become such a happy happy boy (compared to the fussy baby he once was) he is so sweet and his big-mouthed smile can light up the room!

Meyer is 16 pounds 5 ounces and 26 3/4 inches tall. He has moved up in percentiles (23rd for weight and 50th for height) so maybe he won't be such a shrimp after all! Meyer doesn't have any teeth or any real signs that I can see (besides lots of drool, but what baby doesn't?) He wears size 3 diapers, size 3-6 & 6 month clothing and has recently started to eat some solids, which makes life a little easier; mostly rice cereal..usually mixed with a little fruit and/or veggies!  He is very ticklish and a little wiggleworm too!

Meyer can: sit unassisted, smile, laugh, play with toys, eat big boy food and has started to try and clap his hands.

Meyer loves: to snuggle his momma, when his daddy holds him, breast milk (in the most literal sense of the word), chewing on soft blankies, watching his big brother and sister play, grabbing for things that are off limits, putting everything in his mouth, playing with his feet, and being held.

Meyer dislikes: being left alone, sleeping in his own room/bed, bottles (still), and pacifiers (still).

I wanted to share about this teething/nursing necklace I recently purchased from The Vintage Honey Shop... it's quickly becoming one of our 6 month favorites!

- It's stylish so I don't feel like I am wearing a toy around my neck.

- Since it's tied around my neck we don't have to worry about Meyer dropping it on the dirty floor like we do with a lot of other teething toys.

- It's the perfect distraction for while he is nursing since these days he is a lot more interested in what is going on around him rather than relaxing for a good nursing session.

- Each necklace is handmade, organic and safe!

-An extra perk that nobody probably cares about but me...it's packaged beautifully and I felt so special getting it in the mail! 

I would highly recommend one of these for you mommas that have a grabby, teething, curious baby on your lap!

Meyer really has surprised me with his 180 degree transformation from a very unhappy, fussy, whiny little baby to a happy, easygoing, smiley little 6 month old...and I am so very thankful for this!
He is getting better about sleeping too! Thank GOD

I just love this little boy with all my heart!

We are looking forward to celebrating his 1st Easter next weekend!
