Happy "half" birthday little boy! Can you believe it?! We are half way to Camden's first birthday already. He is changing so much and hitting milestone every single day it feels like. There was one week this past month where he literally did something new every single day. And did I mention how much I think his looks are changing?! Besides getting more and more chunky, his big blue eyes (which melt our heart) are getting bigger and he has more and more hair coming in. He sure is a cute one!
{Height and Weight}
Camden's {6} Month Stats;
Weight: 19lbs./ 74%tile
Height: 27inches/ 66%tile
Head Circumference: 17.3inches/ 52%tile (His head finally grew more this past month!)
Camden is still currently in size 3 diapers and is wearing 6-9 and 6-12 month clothes. He is growing like a weed and I feel like every time I get into his closet, there are at least two outfits that don't fit him anymore. It makes me sad, but it also gives me an excuse to go shopping for him, so I don't mind.
Did I mention his feet are too fat to fit into any shoes. Before he was born I was addicted to buying baby shoes. So, now I am stuck with a bunch of baby shoes that don't fit his cute chubby feet. We have resorted to flip flops for the summer. His fat feet look extra adorable in those :)
{Health}
Camden is a healthy little boy and we are so grateful for that.We are so lucky we don't have to deal with a sick baby a lot. We are glad we made it through the sickest season's in Utah with only one cold!
{Sleeping}
At
{6}months, Camden's sleeping patterns haven't changed much. He is still sleeping an average of eleven hours all together at night. He wakes up once at about 6:00am to eat and goes back down for another two hours or so. We have had some rough nights this past month because I think his teeth are starting to move a
lot.
He has started to take one longer nap during the day and about two cat naps in the morning and after dinner. we are still trying to work on him taking these naps in his crib, which I think will be an easier transition once we move in to our new home, but for now, he is taking those naps in our bed. He is loving to sleep on his tummy more and more. When we put him down in his crib, I put on his back and when i go back to check on him, he is facing the opposite direction and on his tummy! This kid is a mover at night!
{Eating}
At
{6}months, Camden is loving his solids! We have introduced a wide variety of new foods to him this past month and the only food he really doesn't like it Banana's...I am hoping over time this will change. I am sure its a texture thing. He will eat just about anything else though and we were lucky enough to not experience any allergic reactions to all the new foods he has tried. Our favorite (well moms favorite) foods are the foods that come in a pouch. There are spoons that twist onto the cap and make it very convenient to feed him some solids while we are out and about. He also now sits in a high chair when we go to restaurants. we have to watch our plates and drinks because he grabs for them every time.
We don't really have a schedule down for when he eats solids. I just try to feed him solids twice a day, so whenever it's convenient. He still drinks bottles every three hours as well. He's a good little eater and certainly loves all the new foods he is getting to try.
