6 Months Old!

This little turkey is 6 months old! He is 18 pounds, loving food and has a smile for anyone who makes eye contact with him. He loves his family and excitedly waves his hands and squeels after his nap when someone goes to get him up or someone he knows comes through the door. He is a social and friendly baby everywhere we go.

Ben is very proud of how quickly he has met all his milestones and take credit for helping him learn so much (he read a baby development chart when he was born and was very strict about his tummy time regime!).

Matthews first food was avacodo, followed by carrots, sweet potato, squash and now he is eating most everything except grains. He loves baby food pouches and will eat two at one meal. He is on a pretty good schedule with a short nap in the morning followed by a 2 hour nap in the afternoon and then bedtime at 7. He wakes once in the night and then otherwise is up with a smile at 7am.

He still doesn't love his carseat but is tolerating being in the car a little more now. We will switch him to a bigger seat in the spring and hopefully he will be a bit happier in the car.

We love this little guy with his adorable grin and silly laugh and fat little knees soooo much! How lucky we are to have our little Matty-baby in our family!
