I was on the ball this month and got Connor in for his 6month checkup exactly at his 6 month mark. :) I love it when that happens.
Anywho- Connor is doing well. Here are his stats:
Height: 27 1/4 inches------------75%
Weight: 18 lbs--------------------75%
Head: 18 inches------------------90%
Weight: 18 lbs--------------------75%
Head: 18 inches------------------90%
He has definitely thinned out a bit (well except for his head :D ). Connor is our picky eater and doesn't like any baby food. We have tried squash, green beans, peas, squash, sweet potatoes, bananas, pears, peaches, applesauce (both baby food and homemade), and carrots. He just makes a face and spits it out.
Connor will however eat these rice sticks (I forgot the name but it is pictured below) and meltaways.

All of which (except for the rice) are not supposed to be given until they are older, but he was acting hungry but wouldn't eat anything else. I talked to the pediatrician about this and she suggested dipping his meltaways in baby food, or his toy rattles or anything we can get him to eat. ha ha She also said if all else fails to just start giving him table food with the exception of a few specific foods. We gave him some bread and some peas today. He liked the bread but just spit out the peas over and over again. We then tried making regular oatmeal as opposed to the baby oatmeal with added peaches and he once again made a face and spit it out over and over again. Well, we will just keep trying :)
Connor has been such a happy baby. He smiles at almost anyone that looks at him and smiles at him. He gets "Wow- he is such a happy boy" all the time. I love it! Now all would be right in the world if only he would sleep through the night. On a good night he will go to sleep at 8pm and sleep until 1pm (eat) and then (eat) again at 430. But he is honestly not doing anything consistently when it comes to night time. Some nights he wakes up at 11pm, 1am, 3am. 430 am, and then 6am. We have tried crying it out and he will go longer without eating but he still cries for a good hour or so. Needless to say, we are just doing our best when it comes to the night shift as we call them. BJ usually gets the "first shift" where he tries to give him the binky or re-swaddle him so he goes longer without eating, and then I take the "second shift" or the rest of the night which usually includes a few feedings.
Kaylee on the other hand has become a very deep sleeper with Connor in her room. He cries a lot and most of the time by the time I get in their room to take care of Connor- Kaylee is still asleep on her bed.
Connor is SO fun! He loves to cuddle and be held, but is also content with playing in his saucer or even just laying on the floor next to some toys. He does pretty good with sitting up on his own, but I still have to be close by him so he doesn't face plant.
* Just a week after his 6 months he started scooting on his belly backwards. He gets up on his tippy toes it is so cute! I will have to post a video later on.
