William is 6 Months!

Sunday, October 12, 2014

William is 6 months and he has really grown out of being a premie for sure.

Height: 26.5" (44%ile)
Weight: 16 lbs 10.5 oz (33%ile)
Head Circumference: 16.73" (25%ile)

William's likes:
Food!!! He has tried avacados, bananas, green peas, squash and carrots. He has liked them all and really learned how to eat with a spoon pretty quickly.
He still loves being outside and we are all looking forward to the cooler weather coming up.
He likes bouncing and swinging.
Chewing or biting on pacifiers (not sucking) and on teethers.
He likes his space suit (magic Merlin's sleep sack) for naps and bedtime. He is sleeping from about 8:30-7:30 on average. He is taking two big naps in the crib and one short nap before dinner in the swing or stroller.
He has really become find of Lydia and just being around her. She plays with him, sings to him, and performs for him and he loves all of it. He will giggle and laugh uncontrollably when he is with her. This helps a lot when he gets fussy.
He has rolled over from his tummy to his back twice now but hasn't rolled onto his back yet. He really likes rolling from side to side on his back.
He likes sitting up and watching people. The Dr said he is about one week away from sitting up on his own.
He likes baths now that we are taking them in the big bathtub. We are usually in and out in less than 3 minutes and he has never complained.

William's dislikes:
Wet diapers
Tummy time...still
Someone scaring him or surprising him (Lydia)
Hiccups
Being held while you are sitting down and not moving
He doesn't like getting off schedule. He really sticks to his schedule of eat, play, sleep and gets a bottle every 3.5-4 hours. He is up after eating for about 2 hours and then sleeps for about 2 hours.
