How is he already 6 months old

This is a hard one for me! How is our precious second baby already half way through his first year of life. It really can't have been that long ago that we were in South Africa awaiting his arrival. Oh, but what a blessed past 6 months it has been. We have enjoyed our little "Gray-see" so much and he is so important to our family.

Height: 27. 5 in
Weight: 20 lbs 4 oz
Feeding: mainly still EBF, although we have tried to start introducing other foods, not much luck there yet!
Clothing: 6-9 month
Diaper: 3 disposable

Eating: This past month we purchased a high chair and decided to start trying to introduce some other foods into Gryason's diet. He was showing all the signs that he was ready, sitting up pretty well. Reaching out and grabbing our food, etc. Well this little boy is pretty much anti-anything other than breast milk. He gags at almost everything pureed or little finger foods. He also is the master at keeping his lips sealed and should you dare trick him and make it past his lips he will lovingly shower you in the food you are trying to feed him. So at this point we are just passively trying solids. When he is ready he will let us know.

Sleeping: Yea...lets me real, this mommy is super tired! G-is doing great at taking consistent naps during the day. Pretty much on a set napping schedule. 2- 1.5 hr naps a day. I can handle that, actually its pretty awesome. But then night time comes and apparently sleeping has gone out the window. We really haven't got back into a decent pattern since our trip to Europe last month. I think the travels compounded with 4 teeth in the last 2 months and a 6 month sleep regression have brewed together to be a prefect storm of rough nights. But we are pushing through and I am positive that we will get our decent sleeper back!

Milestones: Well, he has gotten 2 more teeth this month. Both of his front teeth have come in over the last 2 weeks. He is constantly on the move, still army crawling like a champ. He is starting to try to move up onto his hands and knees when he crawls. He is really interested in pulling up on everything and he usually gets his chest fully off the ground. He is doing alright at sitting unassisted. He normally can do about 5-10 seconds before getting wobbly.

G- Loves Daliya! And she loves wearing him
around the house.

He always is chewing on something!

Grayson is five months

How is this possible, our baby is 5 months old already!

Height: N/A
Weight: N/A

Feeding: still nurses about every 3.5 hrs and still wakes in twice a night to nurse 

Clothing: 6 and 6-9 months

Diaper size: 3 disposable

Eating: We are still rocking the every 3.5 hours on the feeding. He still is just exclusively breast feeding and we will probably start on some cereal, fruits and vegetables around 6 months.

Sleeping: This past month has been chaotic with sleeping. We traveled out of country and lived in a hotel room for 17 days. Most nights he was up every 2-3 hours. But, I am hopeful now that we are back home and in our normal routine he will get back to waking only 2 times a night.

Milestones: He cut his first tooth this month. I noticed it erupting through his gum while we were hanging out in London Heathrow airport awaiting our flight to South Africa. He is getting more and more mobile and I would say he has the army crawl down pat now!
This past month he celebrated his first Christmas. He spend his first New Years traveling internationally. He got to spend time on another continent, Europe. He experienced his first cold weather and snow in Prague. He got to experience public transportation for the first time: bus, boat and metro. He also laughs and smiles almost every time he sees H. He loves his older brother and they are starting to interact with each other.

It's my first Christmas, and I'm loving it!

Grayson is four months old

Weight: N/A
Height: N/A
Clothing: 6 month

Feeding: Nurses about every 3.5hrs. He wakes up twice a night to nurse.

Diaper size: 3 disposable

Eating: Grayson is starting to space his feedings to more regularly 3.5 hours apart. I think a large portion of this change is due to the fact the Grandma and Grandpa Veres have been here this month and he has spent more time away from mommy. I love nursing my little guy but it has been nice to get a few more breaks in the day :)

Sleeping. He still goes to bed by 7:30, the same time has his big brother. I can't say enough how great it is to have them on the same bedtime routine. It makes things just a little easier and gives Joseph and I some time to just chill without the kiddos for a few hours before we head to bed.

Milestones: This month he has mastered rolling from belly to back. He has also started pushing himself around on the floor some!
This past month was a great one for him. He got to meet his Grandma and Grandpa Veres for the first time. He went on his second trip to Zambia and went on his second safari! He has started taking some naps in his crib and not in his bouncy seat. It's a work in progress. We are loving watching this little guy grow and grow. We love you!
