Growing a Little Schulze: 6 months

Sweet six month old boy!

This month is all about the expanding world of food and lots of motor development! Also, lots of firsts like first cold, first bath with his sisters, sitting in a shopping cart, boat ride and more!

Motor:

Development happens quickly this month! Mastered sitting and just started crawling by the end of the month.

6/5-Sitting for more than a few seconds! Up to a minute or so!.

6/18- Much better with sitting! Can sit for multiple minutes but still needs a spotter because he'll topple.

6/21: Crawling: has arm motion bit can't get legs figured out. Rocks back and forth. Or moves arms then collapsed and army crawls. Scooting around on his belly pretty good though.

Starting to figure out how to switch between army crawling and sitting and back. Gets stuck one leg forward, one leg back

6/29- Finally figured out crawling! Progressed a little each day from army crawling. First he'd move his arms in a forward motion and then collapse. Then he started hopping legs his legs forward. Then he finally gets the one by one motion

Food:

6/1- Daniel has green beans. Puréed and canned. Likes both.

Mmmm, green beans two ways!

6/18- has eggs! Loves them the first day! At little less enthusiastic the next time, but still eats them.

He has also had: peaches, zucchini, Cheerios, peas, carrots, and 2 tiny bites of rotisserie chicken

And he's starting to have breakfast and dinner instead of just dinner because he fussed when we were eating without him!

Sleep:

In general, he is going down between 8-8:30, is up between 5-6 to eat, and then sleeps until 7:30-8:30. He naps 2-3 times a day. At night he usually nurses to sleep. For naps, he likes to do the same, but I'm starting to cut back on that. He'll cry for a few minutes in his crib and then go out.

Vocalizations:

More noises this month. He often sounds like a little pterodactyl with squawks and squeals.

sounds: Uh blah/gah/dah

Says "meh meh" that sounds like mama

Sizing:

6 or 9 month clothes, size 2 diapers
