6 months old

Sweet Ian is 6 months old! Wow, he is a super happy baby who, for some reason, doesn't like to sleep. At this very moment James and I are doing the let him "cry it out" method. We are going on day 2 and it seems to be going okay. He has only cried for a few minutes each night. We did this with Connor and now he is a good sleeper as far as getting in his bed and waking in his bed. He has never tried to even crawl into our bed! We are trying to teach Ian to self sooth, by doing this it makes bed time routine so easy!

Ian had his 6 month check up:
17 pounds 50 %
27 inches 75%
head 45%
He has decided that he could care less about solid foods. We thought he would love fruits and he doesn't. He does however like to drink water out of a plastic bottle and he likes to play with a sippy cup. The pedi said since he doesn't take a bottle there is no use in trying anymore, either put it in a sippy or nurse him and go straight to whole milk at age 1. YES, that is 6 more months of having a buddy. I do have to say he is only nursing 4 times a day and eating solids 3 times a day which isn't so bad.

The past few months Connor has become a great big brother. He helps get diapers, entertains, and plays with Ian when needed. Connor can get Ian to laugh when no one else can and Ian laughs at the silliest things. He loves to watch Connor throw things in the air and screech!
Ian can now sit unassisted. This is awesome!!!! I put toys all around him and he plays as long as he can see Connor or I.

He is so good about "going with the flow" of things. He rides in his stroller and loves to people watch.

Best Buddies :0)

Happy 6 months Ian-b0-be-an we love you!
