Taylor's 6 Month Update

Taylor is 6 months old and doing great! Here are some highlights:

• Taylor is STILL bouncing away on the Jumparoo! He is totally obsessed with bouncing and standing. 
• We've seen him roll both ways but it's just not his thing like it was with Avery. He can do it but he'll take it or leave it. What he always tries to do is just sit up when laying on his back - looks like he is doing stomach crunches :)
• He is wearing 9-12 month clothing. Will post his stats after we go to the doctor for his check up.
• Taylor really enjoys toys now - loves to chew on everything and actually play with his baby toys. And loves to look at books and put the pages in his mouth.
• He is a happy and smiley guy and gives great giggles when you get him going.
• Tay is very chatty and makes different sounds - dada and OOOHH and tons of others.
• The carrier and bouncing on the exercise ball are great ways to calm him.
• He still loves to nurse but sometimes gets distracted - He'll want to see the TV or my phone or look at someone in the room. So it can be challenging to feed him when he's not tired because other things are more interesting.
• Tay is loving his food!! And Spoons. We have to give him his own spoon to play with while we feed him or he grabs at the one with the food and makes a mess. So far he has eaten peas, green beans, carrots, and avocado. Avocado seems to be the favorite - he ate a whole one yesterday!! We have stopped cereal and oatmeal since it did not agree with his digestive tract. And he still hates bottles but will take milk from a sippy cup. We are about to give up on bottles completely.
• Still has just the bottom 2 teeth and I am sure more are on the way soon!
• He goes down to bed between 8 and 9 - sometimes takes some fussing. And he typically ends up snuggling in with me around 2 or 3 am which he and I both love :) When we got back from our Denver trip he ONLY wanted to sleep with me since that is what we did there. So I would take him in his room to nurse and put him to bed and he would arch his back and go psycho and the second I brought him into my bed he would nurse and snuggle and go right to sleep. TOTAL manipulator!!
• Bath time is still a fave. 
• He is good at prop sitting with his hands in front of him and should be balancing on his own in the coming months.
• Tay is just a happy and sweet guy. He gives tons of big smiles and is always so happy to see you! Love him to pieces and can't wait to see what the next 6 months bring.
