Grayson you are 6 Months Old and half way to turning 1! Oh my I can't believe that you are already 6 Months Old. The past 6 Months have been AMAZING! Mommy and Daddy love you so much!
What have you been up to over the past month:
- Biggest highlight is you are finally liking cereal and veggies. It took some time for you to enjoy the cereal, veggies, bib, and highchair process, but now you love it! The cereal has made you constipated so mommy gives you prunes(which is helping with constipation) and cereal in the morning and we have cereal and veggies at night. You do not like cereal by itself so we give you a little bit of cereal with the veggies and you love it.
- Over the past month you have given up breastfeeding. Mommy still pumps and you have any where from 4-5 six ounce bottles a day. Mommy is sad and I miss the bonding time that we shared when I did breastfeed you, but since you get bottles during the day you just would not breastfeed at night or in the morning any longer for mommy

- At daycare you love when your teacher Miss Melissa sings Old McDonald Had A Farm she says you just laugh and laugh. You also LOVE tummy time with all your friends.
- You are still not sleeping that much at daycare. We are lucky if you sleep 30-45 minutes during your time at daycare. But your teachers tell me that you are a happy baby and play and smile at all your friends.
- For your morning nap at home you struggle with staying asleep unless Mommy holds you, but for the past two days I have wrapped you in my jacket that I wear in the morning and you stay asleep and do not move at all. Mommy thinks this is so funny because at night you have no problems sleeping.

- You love your paci only for naps and bedtime. The moment you fall asleep you spit it out!
- You love looking in the mirror you just laugh and every morning after you get dressed for the day we play peek a boo.
- We love you so much and look forward to seeing what changes you will make over the next 6 months.
